It is located 26 kilometres from [[Midyat]]. In 2011 there was 95 people in the village.

==History==

Beth Qustan like many other villages in Tur Abdin was probably inhabited in pre-Christian times, and it is believed that Beth Qustan was a place of rest for travelers and the army of [[Constantine I]] repeatedly passed through the village. In the 4th century Tur Abdin was Christianised and the local Church of Mor Eliyo is dated to 343. The saint [[Mor Gabriel]] was born here in the year 574 who later went on to become bishop of the nearby monastery of [[Mor Gabriel monastery|Qartmin]].

Located near the village is the Shu'o d-Helane, a rock named after [[Helena (empress)|Saint Helen]], mother of the Roman Emperor [[Constantine I]]. Also around the village are the destroyed churches of Mor Osyo and the Mother of God, believed to have been destroyed by [[Tamerlane]] in the year 1400.
