Itinerary description

"Vaux Moise (in Arabic al-Wuʿaira) was an outpost of the Crusader Fortress Montréal in Shobak, 25 km north. The stronghold over Wadi Musa was built in 1116 under the reign of King Balduin I of Jerusalem on the remains of a Nabataean or Roman predecessor and was strongly extended in 1142. After the defeat of the crusaders by Saladin's army at Hattin (1187), it was conquered by the Ayyubids in 1188."
