Remains of this road can be recognized in parallel to the dirt-road that exists Petra westward, beyond the southern flanks of Jabal Hārūn, and from there along the camelpath called Naqb er-Ruba’ī, which descends to the south in the direction of Wādī Khušeība and afterwards in a westerly direction toward the ‘Arabah. To the length of approximately 10 km there are convincing remains of a built road in the width of 4 m, the customary width of main roads in mountainous regions during the Roman period.
