Umm el-Marra
Tuba () (now called Umm el-Marra, ), east of modern Aleppo in the Jabbul Plain of northern Syria, was one of the ancient Near East's oldest cities, located on a crossroads of two trade routes northwest of Ebla, in a landscape that was much more fertile than it is today. Apparently this is the city of Tuba mentioned in Egyptian inscriptions listing cities that were defeated or destroyed in the empire's north Syrian campaign.
