Ras Al-Ein
It was called Ras al-Ein because it is significantly higher than the other springs in Nablus. Located in the Ras al-Ein area on the northern slope overlooking the city, it is bordered to the east by the ancient Samaritan cemetery, to the west by a retaining wall for Street 24, and to the north and south by residential buildings. The spring overlooks the old town from the southwest side.
Ras al-Ein is one of the three primary springs that have historically provided water to the city, along with Qarioun and Dafna springs. The spring features several tunnels and canals cut into the natural rock inside the cliffs to access the water sources. These are natural tunnels, with one extending several meters into the mountain and forming a small room cut into the rock from which water flows. Corresponding to these tunnels and canals are tunnels and channels that connect to the water system of the Roman city of Nablus. The water from this spring continues to flow to this day.
