' Zoubia' (alternate spelling Zubia or Zubya) is a village in Jordan with a population of around 7000. It is located in north-west Jordan and is part of the great Irbid Governorate. Zoubia is known for its abundant oak forests and its mountains, which are considered the highest in Irbid.
For most of known history, most Zoubians worked in agriculture. Chief crops included olives, grapes and figs, while some farmers focused on seasonal crops such as wheat, barley, lentils and tomatoes. The villagers also used to raise cattle, sheep and horses.
Nowadays, the majority of the Zoubia population have taken on other jobs to live, leaving very few to work in agriculture. Many have gotten an education to become doctors, engineers, lawyers, businessmen, intellectuals, writers and historians and are spread around the world.
