The site named today Mawit Awad is identified as the Nabatean site appearing on the Midba map by the name Mo'a. The site is located in the middle of the Arava, in the east boundary of the Negev's mountains. Archeological excavations revealed a few structures, including a square castle, a larger building that might have been a motel, and a large amount of typical Nabatean earthenware and coins issued by the Nabatean kings (3rd century BC – 2nd century AD).
