Monument : le château d’Iraq al Amir

Le village abrite un monument archéologique singulier : le « château » d’Iraq al Amir, dont la construction est datée du IIe siècle avant Jésus-Christ et est reliée à Hyrcan, membre de la famille des Tobiades. La décoration de cet ensemble est remarquable : inspirés par l’art hellénistique et l’art perse, les hauts-reliefs et les frises constituent un témoignage de premier plan des influences multiples dans l’architecture de la période hellénistique aux confins des empires lagides et séleucides.
