Khirbet Al Taweel has reins, Islamic and Roman, and is a meeting point for dwellings. The fact that it has old remnants means that it has been inhabited by people long time ago. The moderate climate in winter has helped to make the land of Khirbet Al Taweel futile for winter crops. The abundance of pastures has also helped farmers to take advantage of the land.
