Description
Busayra was the capital of the Iron Age Kingdom of Edom, which held power in the area alongside the Ammonites and Moabites. Today you can see the remnants of an ancient palace, cisterns, and what is believed to have served as a temple at the site. ACOR USAID SCHEP worked with the Busayra Cultural Heritage Project from 2015 – 2017, with a focus on cleaning and protecting the archaeological site. Beginning in 2018, SCHEP worked with the Department of Antiquities to improve site presentation and navigability.
