The wonderful town of Zubalah

A nothing town outside of Rafha, immediately south of the Iraq border. Named Zubalah, or "garbage", because travelers from Baghdad to Mecca would stop there as the mid-way point. It is home to man-made pools that fill with rain runoff during wet season just before Ramadan. If you are interested in life as it was 1000 years ago, Zubalah is the place. Tell the locals "Captain David" sent you.
