Ash-Shunah al-Janubiyah (Arabic: الشونة الجنوبية), also Shoonah Janoobiyah, South Shuna or Southern Shouneh, etc.,[2] is a populated place in Balqa Governorate, Jordan, in the eastern Jordan Valley, not far from the place where the Jordan flows into the Dead Sea.

The town stretches along the Jordan Valley Highway (HW 65) north of the intersection with Route 437 (King Hussein Bridge Road), east of the Allenby (or King Hussein) Bridge and border crossing.

[3][4] There is a Monument to the Unknown Soldier [ar] to commemorate the victory at the Battle of Karameh.

[2] The article al undergoes assimilation to the following consonant in specific cases, when al is sounded ash, also spelled esh,[9] al-Shunah becoming ash-Shunah/esh-Shuneh.

For convenience, the definite article at the beginning of place-names may be dropped, yielding here simply Shunah al-Janubiyah.
