Ghor es-Safi

Ghor es-Safi, also transliterated Ghawr as-Safi, is an area in the Jordan valley located in the Wadi al-Hasa. It is situated between the governorates of Karak and Tafilah, near the southern Dead Sea. The location is depicted on the 6th-century Madaba map as "Zoara."

Ghor as-Safi is perhaps best known for its historical sugar cane factories from the 11th century.
