Sheheba is an ancient city in the Daraa province of southern Syria, located about 100 kilometers south of the capital Damascus, near the Jordanian border. The city has a long history dating back to the Roman Empire and was an important stronghold of the ancient Nabataean Kingdom, and is rich in archaeological sites such as Roman theaters, temples, and the remains of water systems. Located in the arid Howland region, Sheheba is dominated by basalt construction and an agricultural economy, traditionally cultivating cereals and olives.
In recent years, Sheheba has been severely affected by the Syrian civil war, becoming one of the front lines of the conflict, with destruction of infrastructure and displacement of the population. As a strategic location, it connects the city of Daraa with the border areas, and basic services have been gradually restored in the post-war reconstruction. The local culture is a mix of Arab and Roman features, but tourism has stagnated due to the war. The resilience and preservation of Sheheba's heritage remain key to future development.
