It was located 6.5 km south of Safad, situated 1 km east of Wadi al-'Amud.
==History== In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described nearby Kh. en Nueiriyeh as having "heaps of drafted masonry on the top of terraced hill, with a rock-cut well and three rock-cut wine-presses". According to Khalidi, these were remains of Roman and Byzantine eras.
