Al-Mohammadiyya Noria

Historical Landmarks

This complex comprises three adjacent Norias of varying diameters (14–18 m), constructed in the 15th century under the patronage of the influential Al-Ja’bari merchant family. A distinguishing feature is a basalt foundation plaque, which displays Mamluk foliate ornamentation and dates the construction to 861 AH. The Norias are connected by a 90-meter-long arched stone aqueduct that irrigates the Al-Hailaniyah orchards.
