zul-marwah

Updated: May 7, 2025

For some days I had cold shudders lest this Pass, thus left unvisited, might be the Zul-Marwah, the classical "Mochoura," one of the objects of our Expedition. The alarm proved, however, as will be seen, false. As Leake well knew, the latter is "a name which is often indiscriminately applied by the Arabs to ancient ruins." They may mean a handful of miles.
