It consists of two kafrins, about one hundred and thirty meters apart, and its buildings are made of mud flaps, small stones, bricks, and bricks, and most of them are on one floor. It has palm trees and two mosques, and most of its people are Muslims, and it earns its income from selling the gypsum they bring from the mountain and from growing grains and maize.
