A small ruin about 5 minutes walk S.W. of Midjleyya - situated on both sides of a deep wadi. The buildings, which are chiefly private houses of different styles and a small church, are much ruined.
Church. This is of little interest and quite small. It had aisles and a consealed apse between chapels. The capitals of the columns are of the corbelled type - the first instance of the use of this type in the interior of a church. It is impossible to say how many columns there were or what the superstructure was like.
Houses. Of these there are a number of small square houses in large quadratic style and several of the developed colonnaded kind.
The most interesting are the houses on the slopes of the wadi where the lower story is completely excavated in living rock and arched over to support a superstructure
