Cities of the Plain:
Sodom
Gomorrah
Zoar (The city where Lot escaped to, located at the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea, south of the Zared River, near the modern Safi.)
Admah
Zeboiin

Eight miles north of Safi is a dig site of Numeira, which is believed to be the Gomorrah since the consonants of the Arabic name Numeira is the same as the Hebrew name Gomorrah.

Ten miles north of Numeira is a dig site of Bab edh-Dhra believe to be the Biblical Sodom.
