Khirbet ed-Dharih

Jordan

Khirbet edh-Dharih is a multi-period archaeological site which mainly flourished during the Nabataean period, when a prosperous settlement with a religious sanctuary stood there. The site is located on the King's Highway in southern Jordan, about 70 km (45 miles) north of the ancient Nabataean capital city, Petra, or in caravaning terms at the 3rd station from it, the nearest modern town being Tafileh. The earliest signs of human habitation at the site are from the Neolithic period and more specifically the Pottery Neolithic A (PNA) period, circa 6000-4000 BCE.
