REGISTERED: Yes


Foundations of round structures of a Nabatean settlement are still visible on the site. They are built with flat sandstone flakes without any binding mortar or plaster.


The site is almost completely unprotected. There are no guards, or signs marking the boundaries of the archaeological area. A dirt road crosses the site and the traffic damages the archaeology both below and above ground.
