Place Description

A historic Palestinian hamlet in the Baysan subdistrict, situated on a flat elevation approximately 4.5 km from Baysan, east of the al-Faqqu'a (Jilbu') Mountains and overlooking the lower lands to the north and west, with the Jordanian highlands visible to the east. Its fertile, level terrain and abundant water from rainfall and springs supported intensive agriculture, particularly vegetables, citrus, bananas, olives, and other fruit, with most of the cultivated land irrigated or used for orchards.
