Mahloul

Mahloul in the Sahal al-Wuhush, the Plain of Beasts, that cuts through the Jarjara Escarpment south of the Bahr al-Yeshm. The valley takes its name from the mysterious petroglyphys of hoofed and horned animals carved on boulders scattered about. Groundwater provides just enough water to grow crops for subsistence, while the village makes its money from rearing horses on the rich grass that grows in clefts in the escarpment after the spring rains.
