"The Hauran (Arabic: حوران, romanized: Ḥawrān) also spelled Hawran or Houran) is a region that spans parts of southern Syria and northern Jordan. It is bound in ...
the north by the Ghouta oasis, eastwards by the al-Safa field, to the south by Jordan´s desert steppe and to the west by the Golan Heights. Traditionally, the Hauran consists of three subregions: the Nuqrah and Jaydur plains, the Jabal al-Druze massif, and the Lajat volcanic field. The population of the Hauran is largely Arab, but religiously heterogeneous; most inhabitants of the plains are Sunni Muslims belonging to large agrarian clans, while Druze form the majority in the eponymous Jabal al-Druze and a significant Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholic minority inhabit the western foothills of Jabal al-Druze. The region´s largest towns are Daraa, al-Ramtha and al-Suwayda." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.10.2019)
