The excavation site contains evidence of copper production facilities, ancient water systems, and residential structures from the Chalcolithic period.

Dating back to 4000 BC, this settlement developed sophisticated irrigation methods to cultivate crops including wheat and grapes in the arid region.

The walls of a discovered building feature human and animal drawings that indicate religious activities of the early copper-producing civilization.

Archaeological findings from the site are currently exhibited at the Aqaba Archaeological Museum, which opens daily for public viewing.

Scientists identified two major earthquakes at the location through geological analysis, with the second event causing complete destruction of the settlement.
