Description: The Sustainable Cultural Heritage Through Engagement of Local Communities Project (USAID SCHEP) is a cooperative agreement between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR). The first phase of the project was implemented from 2014 until 2018 at nine heritage sites throughout Jordan. Bir Madhkur served as a prominent fort during the Roman and Byzantine eras. It was once a key site along the ancient Incense Route that stretched from India to the Mediterranean.  With support from SCHEP, the Bir Madhkur Project aimed to revitalize the trails that link Bir Madhkur to Petra, as well as to further conserve the site and make it more comprehensible to public audiences.
