Ma'an

Jordan

Description

Ma'an was founded by the Minaeans (known as "Ma'in" in Arabic), an ancient Arab people based in Yemen, between the 2nd and 4th-century BCE. The site was located on a major trade route and was settled by Minaean traders and merchants.[3] Local tradition has it that the city was named after "Ma'an", the son of Lot.
