Rajeb or Rajib (ar|راجب) is a village in the Ajloun Governorate in northwestern Jordan.[1] In classical sources, Ar Rajib is known as Reğeb (Ragaba).[2]
Rajeb is identified with the ancient fortress of Reğeb (he|רגב), or Ragaba (el|Ράγκαβα). According to the historical accounts by Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian from the first century AD, Alexander Jannaeus, king of Judaea, died during a siege at this location (around 76 BC).[2] [3] The Mishnah notes that Reğeb was renowned for its olive oil.
A maqam named Maqam Hajja Amirah, accompanied by a mosque, once stood in the graveyard atop a nearby flat hill. Today, only remnants of it exist as a ruin on a slope adjacent to the asphalt street. According to local accounts, it was demolished in recent years to accommodate the expansion of the graveyard.[4]
The Rajeb Waterfall attracts thousands of visitors annually.[5]
