Jund Dimashq (Arabic: جند دمشق, "the military district of Damascus") was the largest of several sub-provinces of the Islamic Caliphate province of Bilad al-Sham (Syria) under the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties, organized soon after the Muslim conquest of Syria in the seventh century. Its capital and largest city, Damascus ("Dimashq"), bore the district's name. It comprised the Ghouta plain (area surrounding Damascus), the northeastern Jordan Valley, including Balqa and Jaulan, the Hauran region, Edom, the Bekaa Valley and Mount Lebanon.
