Hauara was at one time reckoned as a Catholic titular see. The original diocese was in Palestina Tertia, a suffragan of Petra. It is no longer included among the titular sees listed in the Annuario Pontificio.

Location
This Hauara, situated between Aila and Petra, is certainly distinct from the Hauara of Stephen of Byzantium, the leuke kome of the Greeks, a harbour of the Red Sea; but it has been impossible to discover its location. It is unknown even when it became a titular see, because it formerly had no bishop, and does not figure in any episcopal Notitiae.
Peutinger's map locates a place of this name thirty-eight miles of Petra (see Clermont-Ganneau in "Revue biblique", N.S. III, 419-421). The city is also mentioned by Ptolemy (V, 16) and by the Notitia dignitatum (ed. Boecking, 79), which mentions the garrison of equites sagittarri indigenae. It must not be confused with Haura, a Jacobite see in Mesopotamia.
