Wadi Shueib

[2][3] Wadi Shueib is named for the Biblical figure Jethro, Shuʿeib in Arabic.

Wadi Shueib lies west of Sweileh at elevations from 1,200 meters (3,900 ft) to sea level.

[1] It drains an area of approximately 180 square kilometers (69 sq mi).

[1] Towns and villages along the wadi include Salt, Fuheis, and Mahis, which discharge treated and untreated sewage into it.

[1] Excavations have confirmed that the area was a major site during Jordan's Neolithic period.
