المعبد النبطي
The ruins of a 1st-century Nabataean temple on the edge of Rum Village, dedicated to the goddess Allat. It is within walking distance.
The temple was built in the Nabataean period in the 1st century CE and was dedicated to the Arab goddess Allat. Remnants of wall foundations, column bases, and stone steps survive. The site lies at the foot of Jabal Rum on the west side of Rum Village. It is about a 15-minute walk from the village and is free.
