Hauran, cave-land, was the fertile eastern district of Bashan named in Ezekiel's description of Israel's future boundaries (Ezekiel 47:16, 18). The region, known to the Greeks and Romans as Auranitis, is centered on the city of Bosra and is noted for its dense, well-preserved basalt architecture; the Nabateans who controlled the area before Rome annexed it in AD 106 left monumental remains there comparable to those at Petra, confirming the district's long-standing prosperity as a crossroads of Arabian trade routes.
