Town Today

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"A railroad bridge, unused segments of track, and three of the train station's buildings are all that remain of Dayr Sunayd. The stone bridge is built astride a wadi and passes over four wide, round-arched culverts. The station's buildings are deserted and in a state of deterioration. "
