Title
Jordan. Ghawr as Safi. Damage at the archaeological site of Masna' as-Sukkar
Creator
USAID SCHEP
Description
The southern Jordan Valley was a hub for sugar production between the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. This history can be experienced today at the medieval Islamic sugar factory that still stands in Ghawr as Safi. Between 2014 and 2018, ACOR USAID SCHEP worked with the Ghawr as Safi project to help stabilize aspects of this site, clean it up, and make it easy for visitors to access and interpret. In 2020, project staff made a field visit to the site with representatives of the DOA to inspect the work at the site and discuss possible future interventions.
