| About
45 km. south of Karak on the King's Highway is Wadi Hasa, a deep
gorge known in the Bible as the Zered Valley. There Moses and
the Israelites ended their wanderings in the desert and camped
on their journey north (Numbers 21: 12; Deuteronomy 2: 13-14).
Just west of
Wadi Hasa, the deep gorge that bisects the King’s Highway about
45 kilometers south of Karak, you will find the ruins of a great
Nabatean temple. Known as Khirbet al-Tannur, the site was built
on the edge of a steep bluff, and access is possible only from
the southern flank.
