Ain el-Ghuweir

Ain el-Ghuweir (Ain Al-Ghuwair) is an archaeological site located about 15 km south of Khirbet Qumran in the West Bank, on the western shore of the Dead Sea. Here, a marshy area fed by numerous springs extends for about 2 km, which in the northern part has the Arabic name ʿAin el-Ghuweir, and the southern part is ʿAin at-Turaba. The modern Hebrew names are ʿEinot Qaneh (for Ghuweir) and ʿEinot Samar (for Turaba). The short gorge that opens into the valley of the Dead Sea at ʿAin el-Ghuweir is called Wadi Ghuweir in Arabic, and Naḥal Qaneh in modern Hebrew. Nearby to the north, between Ain el-Ghuweir and Qumran, is also located a similar site of Ein Feshkha.
