Jubb'adin

'the well of Eden or the well of Audius',[2] Arabic: جبعدين)[3] is a village in southern Syria, administratively part of the Rif Dimashq Governorate, located northeast of Damascus in the Qalamoun Mountains.

Nearby localities include Saidnaya and Rankous to the southwest, Yabroud and Maaloula to the northeast, and Assal al-Ward to the northwest.

[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Following their conversion to Islam in the 18th century, the inhabitants of Jubb'adin underwent a religious transformation, shifting from being exclusively Christian to entirely Muslim.

Most of the younger people in the village are bilingual and speak both Western Neo-Aramaic and Syrian Arabic fluently.

Jubb'adin is the main source of modern poetry written in the Western Neo-Aramaic language, thanks to its many poets.
