Mountainous region stretching between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba
Al-Sharāh Mountains shown in red in South-West Jordan (Shaubak/Mt. Se'ir)
Mount Seir (Hebrew: הַר-שֵׂעִיר, romanized: Har Sēʿir) is the ancient and biblical name for a mountainous region stretching between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba in the northwestern region of Edom and southeast of the Kingdom of Judah. It may also have marked the older historical limit of Ancient Egypt in Canaan.[1] A place called "Seir, in the land of Shasu" (tꜣ-šꜣsw sʿr – ta-Shasu seʿer), thought to be near Petra, Jordan, is listed in the temple of Amenhotep III at Soleb (ca. 1380 BC).[1][2]
The Nabataean equivalent is šrʾ, and the modern Arabic equivalent is thought to be al-Sharat (Arabic: جبال الشراة, romanized: Jibāl ash-Sharāh, lit. 'Mountains of Sharāh') in Jordan.[3]
