Humayma (Arabic: الحميمة, romanized: al-Humayma) also spelled Humeima and Humaima, is the modern name of ancient Hawara.[1][2][3] Hawara was a trading post in southern Jordan that was founded by the Nabataean king Aretas III in the early first century BC.[1] It is located 45 km to the south of the Nabataean capital Petra and 55 km to the north of the Red Sea port town of Aqaba.[4]
