- New Catholic Encyclopedia(The location of the Emmaus mentioned in LK.24.13-35 is disputed. Among the various sites identified with this Emmaus are: (1) Modern ʻAmwas. Early Christian tradition chose this site. However this represents a good 5-hour walk. (2) Modern el-Qubeibeh - about a 2-hour walk. (3) Modern Qalônieh, directly west of Jerusalem.)
Wikipedia description:
Emmaus ( im-AY-əs; Koine Greek: Ἐμμαούς, romanized: Emmaoús; Latin: Emmaus; Arabic: عمواس, romanized: ʿImwās) is a town mentioned in the Gospel of Luke of the New Testament. Luke reports that Jesus appeared, after his death and resurrection, before two of his disciples while they were walking on the road to Emmaus. Although its geographical identification is not certain, several locations have been suggested throughout history, chiefly Imwas and Al-Qubeiba, both in the West Bank. It is known only that it was connected by a road to Jerusalem; the distance given by Luke varies in different manuscripts and the figure given has been made even more ambiguous by interpretations.
