The Sisira Well is an ancient well carved out of sandstone, located north of Sakaka near Zabal Castle in the Al-Jawf region of Saudi Arabia [1]. Underground tunnels and rock-carved channels once supplied surrounding farmland [1]. The well's name derives from the Canaanite military commander Sisera mentioned in the Hebrew Bible [1] [2].
