Ghoraniyeh or El Ghorahiyeh is a crossing (
ford) by the
Jordan River south of
Wadi Nimrin on the left bank[1] where it joins
Wadi an Nuway'imah (Nuei'ameh, Nu'eima, etc.) on the right bank.[2] During the
Ottoman times there was a bridge, destroyed during the
World War I by the retreating Ottomans. During the war it was an important
bridgehead.
