[[Berkas:Lajat,_Syria1.jpg|ka|jmpl|Reruntuhan struktur batu [[Basal|basaltik]] di Lajat]]
Nama kuno "Trakhonitis" menandakan tanah itu terkait dengan ''trachon'', "tract batu kasar." Ada dua distrik vulkanik di selatan dan timur [[Damaskus]], dengan mana [[Bangsa Yunani|orang Yunani]] memberi namanya: yang barat laut dari gunung [[Basan]] ([[Jabal al-Druze|Jabal Hauran]]) disebut dalam [[bahasa Arab]], ''el-Leja'', yang berarti "perlindungan" atau "asilum (tempat suaka)". Lajat kira-kira berbentuk segitiga dengan ujung di bagian utara. Sisi-sisinya sekitar 25 mil panjangnya, dan dasar sekitar 20 mil. Lajat terletak di tengah-tengah negeri subur dan peternakan; dan meskipun tidak pernah bisa didukung jumlah penduduk yang besar, tempat itu selalu dihuni.
==Geografi==▼
Lajat is situated in southeastern Syria, spanning a triangle-shaped area between the 45-kilometer [[Izra']]-[[Shahba]] line to the south to the vicinity of [[Burraq]], 48 kilometers north of the Izra'-Shahba line and 50 kilometers south of [[Damascus]].<ref name="EI593">{{cite book|last1=Gaube|first1=H.|editor1-last=Bosworth|editor1-first=C.

Springs and underground water sources in Lajat are scarce and most water is supplied by cisterns.<ref name="EI593"/> Shortages of water are particularly severe during the summer months.<ref name="Lewis631"/> While during the Lajat's ancient history, its inhabitants stored water from winter rainfall in reservoirs built near homes, by the early 20th century, these reservoirs had long fallen into disrepair.<ref>Voysey 1920, pp. 208−209.</ref> Thus, by the modern era, every village contained rectangular cisterns to store rainwater, which served as the main water supply.<ref name="Voysey209">Voysey, p. 209.</ref>
