Title A name given to the resource Bosra Description An account of the resource Bosra lies to the south of Syria near the Jordanian border. The city is built from the local black basalt giving it a stronger and more brooding appearance than the northern limestone constructions, not least because the hard stone does not lend itself to extensive decorative elements. The city served as an important trading centre that linked Damascus with the cities of the Decapolis, Palestine and Arabia. It figures in the life of the Prophet Mohammad, as he is said to have had discussions with a monk named Bahira, who was a member of the Church of the East, in the city when he led caravans for his first wife, Khadija.
