Jiftlik Police Station, Tegart fort in Jordan Valley, Israel.

Jiftlik Police Station stands at the mouth of Nahal Tirza in the Jordan Valley, about 2 km from Adam Junction on Road 90. Its southwestern side is the two-storey Ottoman stone building, with large arched doors and windows; the other sides are wrapped by a single-storey concrete structure faced with plaster. Two guard towers rise at the west and east corners, the western one holding a water tank, and their lower floors have firing slits closed by iron shutters.

An Ottoman two-storey government building (saraya) stood here from about 1913, managing Sultan Abdul Hamid II's lands and collecting taxes. In 1940 the British, following Sir Charles Tegart's recommendations after the 1936-1939 riots, planned a rural second-class police station on the existing structure; it opened in 1941 and served the Mandate police until 1948. After 1948 it passed to Jordanian control, and after 1967 it became a military camp, renamed Camp Arie in 1968 for Col. Arik Regev, later abandoned.

The name Jiftlik comes from the Ottoman Turkish çiftlik, the term for lands acquired by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who bought about 900,000 dunams in Palestine and Transjordan, some 70,000 of them around Wadi Farah. The building served as a saraya, an administrative and tax-collecting house for the sultan's estates, before the British reused it as a police post.

The site is accessible to visitors with research interests but requires some preparation for the terrain. Check current access conditions before visiting, as the location is somewhat remote.

The facility was equipped with water systems allowing the garrison to operate in complete isolation for about one month. This self-sufficient design made it one of the most advanced fortifications of its kind.
