Ghor El Safi is a rural village south of the Dead Sea, located 350 meters below sea level. Ghor El Safi is considered one of Jordan’s poverty pockets and the sub-district with the highest proportion of households with irregular income and the largest percentage of jobseekers. Situated near the lowest point on earth, Ghor El Safi enjoys a unique geographical position and a remarkable history that often goes unnoticed. The village was known during Roman-Byzantine periods by the name “Zoara” and was famous for being a vital agricultural and trade center up until the Islamic period. Its unique climate conditions favored the production of sugarcane and indigo, as evidenced by archaeological and historical sources.
