Creator: Lapp, Paul W.; Lapp, Nancy L.
Description: ‘Iraq al-Amir is situated on the west bank of the Wadi es-Seer, about 17 km west of Amman and 29 km. It is located about 4 km upstream from the confluence of the Wadi es-Seer with the Wadi Kafrein. The ‘Iraq al-Amir region includes a megalithic Hellenistic monumental building (Qasr al-‘Abd). Two hundred meters northwest of the ancient village are two tiers of natural caves, two of them with the name “Tobiah” deeply engraved near their entrances.
