Wadi Abu Al-Qamra
A piece of paradise, Wadi Abu Al-Qamra is one of the most beautiful valleys in Dura and among the richest in bounty and water. On its banks, nature has woven a poem of green grass and a stream still overflowing with love. Its wide plains stretch east from the edges of the Old City over long distances to Khirbet Ein Imran and the Sharif woods, dressed in a green robe woven by fresh springs and fertile soil. Its name is linked to the moon (qamar): the valley runs from east to west, so on moonlit nights it becomes a river of light, with shadows drifting over it and its slopes glittering under the full moon, as if the moon had chosen this valley as a mirror for its beauty and a stage for its light. Cauliflower, called "zahr" locally and associated in popular memory with the glow of the moon, flourished in its fields, making the valley a home of plenty and a season of giving. Its stories stretch between the historic Khirbet and Ein Al-Hijra and the ancient Canaanite Khirbet and Ein Al-Dalba. It then passes alongside the lush Sharif woods and embraces Khirbet and Ein Imran, with their Canaanite, Roman and Byzantine remains bearing witness to successive civilizations and centuries of flourishing settlement, where the spring still flows with life as it has for thousands of years. The valley then continues its journey among springs and wells, passing the springs of Abu Kheit, the famous Bir Al-Wad and Ein Rayyan, until it ends at the historic orchard known as Bayyarat Al-Saqi, or the Al Dudin orchard. And so Wadi Abu Al-Qamra remains a rare natural and historical canvas, where moonlight meets the green of the land and human stories meet the memory of the place, making the valley an open record of beauty, heritage and life.
