It is the former capital of the kingdom of the same name, located 75 kilometres east of the town of Alhazm (governorate capital). It is rectangular and consists of two doors (one to the east, the other to the west), which are the only entrances of the city surrounded by a rampart. The most remarkable monument is the temple of Ashtar, located outside the ramparts on the west side. This monument is best decorated with ancient temples. It consists of ramparts, an honour salon and a courtyard surrounded by corridors. The walls and columns are decorated with sculptures representing animals, plants and women's figures.
