Al Jubayhah (Al Jubayhah)
Al-Jubeiha (الجبيهة) is a city district and one of twenty-two areas in the Greater Amman Municipality of Jordan. Al-Jubeiha has seven neighborhoods: Al-Jama'a, Al-Rasheed, Qurneh, Al-Sadiq, Al-Zaitounah, Al-Mahabah, and Al-Baladiyat.
Rujm el-Jebeha, an archeological site in Al-Jubeiha, includes the remains of an Ammonite fortified tower similar to the Rujm Al-Malfouf. It has been suggested that Rujm el-Jebeha was the site of biblical Jogbehah, and the modern-day district preserves its ancient name.

Modern-day Jordan has been inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic period. Three stable kingdoms emerged there at the end of the Bronze Age: Ammon, Moab and Edom. In the third century BC, the Arab Nabataeans established their Kingdom with Petra as the capital. Later rulers of the Transjordan region include the Assyrian, Babylonian, Roman, Byzantine, Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, and the Ottoman empires. After the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottomans in 1916 during World War I, the Greater Syria region was partitioned by Britain and France. The Emirate of Transjordan was established in 1921 by the Hashemite, then Emir, Abdullah I, and the emirate became a British protectorate. In 1946, Jordan gained independence and became officially known in Arabic as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The country captured the West Bank during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and annexed it until it was lost to Israel in 1967. Jordan renounced its claim to the territory in 1988, and became the second Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1994.
