el-kunaytarah

Updated: May 17, 2025

Leaving Lieutenant Amir to map the principal ruins, we followed the caravan up the Majra el-Waghir, the long divide rising to the west-north-west. The thin forest reminded me of the wooded slopes of the Anti-Libanus about El-Kunaytarah: there, however, terebinths and holm-oaks take the place of these unlovely and uncomfortable thorn-trees.
