Khirbet ed-Dharih, Archaeological site in Ma'an Governorate, Jordan
Located 70 kilometers north of Petra, Khirbet ed-Dharih contains residential structures, pottery fragments, and ancient tools from multiple civilizations across different periods.
The temple at Khirbet ed-Dharih was first discovered in 1818 by British naval officers C.L. Irby and James Mangles during their exploration of Jordan.
The settlement evolved through Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods, with each civilization leaving distinct architectural and societal imprints on the site.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through designated routes in the Ma'an Governorate, with research facilities available for archaeological studies.
The presence of the La'ban Spring near the site supported agricultural activities, enabling the cultivation of olives and grains in this desert region.
