The upper area of Wadi Farasa East was named "Gartental" (Garden valley) by the explorer Gustaf Dalman when in spring 1904 he found a secluded idyll of grass fields, broom and oleander bushes between colourful rock faces. This is where the name "Garden Temple" or "Garden Triclinium" comes from for the rock monument with the two columns, which can already be seen from above.
