Jubb Yussef, Archaeological site in Ramat Korazim, Israel

The Jubb Yussef site contains a four-meter deep well with a one-meter diameter, covered by a cupola supported by four stone pillars.

During the Ottoman period in 1516, military forces established a camp at Jubb Yussef before advancing their campaign toward Egyptian territories.

The location holds religious importance in Islamic and Christian traditions as the presumed site where Joseph's brothers cast him into a pit.

The archaeological remains include a khan structure built with alternating layers of limestone and basalt, featuring thick walls and ventilation openings.

The site functioned as a water source and rest stop along the Via Maris trade route connecting Egypt, Syria, and Mesopotamia.
