The village in the Kurd Dagh Mountains is administratively part of Jindires in the Afrin region, Aleppo. It is located in the northeastern part of the Jindires plain on a fertile plateau with clayey soil. A stream runs through it in a southern direction to feed the Afrin River. Surrounded by olive trees, the village stretches over a small hill and surrounding plateau. To the west, there is an archaeological hill near the village. It is bordered to the north by a fertile olive grove and the village of Qujûma, to the south by a gentle slope and the main road (Jindires - Afrin), and the village of Remadiyê. To the east, there is a fertile olive field and the village of Sheikh Abdul Rahman (Kanî Gewrkê). In the west, there is an archaeological hill 500 meters away, as well as the village of Qîlê.

The village has about 20 houses and is approximately 100 years old. Currently, it is an independent village with an electricity network, an elementary school, and a modern technical olive press owned by the state and the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform. Most residents cultivate olives, rain-fed and irrigated grains, summer vegetables, fruit trees, and raise sheep and cows. It is connected to the center of the region via an unpaved road. The most significant families include the Shelta family, Fleiss family, and Almuhajir family. In the past, the houses in the village served as residences for the Aghas and the farmers owned by them. Since 1930 AD, the village has been independent.
