Daajania: Satellite image of Roman fort and reservoir



Daajania: satellite image of fort and reservoir (Google Images.)

The Roman fort at Daajania is located on the edge of the desert in southern Jordan, 40 km NE of Petra, and 32 km from the fortress at Udruh.  A nearby wadi provided water, stored in the large reservoir (now restored) seen below. A north-south Roman road with milestones went by the site, parallel to the Via Nova Traiana further west (Kennedy and Riley 1990, p.172). 

The fort's coordinates are N 30.552682, E 35.761828.
