About

Ayn al-Habis, also known by its medieval names Cave de Sueth (Old French, Cave de Suète), Cava de Suet (Medieval Latin), or Habis Jaldak (Classical Arabic), is a 12th century cave castle built into the southern cliffs of the Yarmouk River gorge in modern-day Jordan. It was located at the edge of the Terre de Suète region (al-Sawad, "the black" in Arabic).
