Naaran

West Bank, Palestine

Naaran (also Na'aran) was an ancient Jewish village dating to the 5th and 6th century CE, located in the modern-day West Bank, in the State of Palestine. Remains of the village have been excavated north-west of Jericho. Naaran is archeologically notable for the mosaic floor of a synagogue, featuring a large zodiac design, which was discovered at the site. Naaran is identified with Ein ad-Duk, now within the municipal boundaries of Jericho, 5 km (3.1 mi) north-west of the city center.
