It was surrounded by a 22-kilometer mud brick wall reinforced with towers. The enclosure resembled a large oasis with rare trees and plants, exotic birds and wild animals. The enclosure was irrigated by several canals, which were supplied by a dam that lay 30 km away in the north-west. The remains of the enclosure are barely recognizable in the area, at best as a light boring wave, which is hardly noticeable when crossing over. However, the satellite image clearly shows the extent.
