Tathleeth

An Oasis where Sands Meet Palms

Share

Nestled harmoniously between the desert and rocky highlands, Tathleeth province stretches across the fertile expanses of Wadi Tathleeth and its tributaries, creating diverse climatic zones, each influencing lifestyle and livelihoods distinctively. From a nomadic system relying on herding numerous camels with their dark hues and rare breeds, to an urban agriculture-based system flourishing in its western plains, especially in palm cultivation which yields abundant dates and related industries.
Tathleeth holds an ancient historical significance, positioned along the caravan routes of old, thus it is rich with various archaeological sites, inscriptions, and remains of ancient buildings.
In the center of Jash—mentioned in numerous historical texts and ancient manuscripts—we find remnants of old stone buildings and inscriptions in the extinct Himyaritic language carved on Mount Al-Qannah, alongside mining traces and firmly fixed stone formations resembling remnants of dams and graves near Mount Al-Razah. Also present is the Jash Fort, constructed from two stone slabs and completed with mud, rising four stories high.
Tathleeth’s vast nature, spanning desert and plateaus, makes it a magnet for adventure seekers and rock enthusiasts, like the smooth "Umm Haid" rock surrounded by a flowing stream, or for safari lovers and those eager to camp under its clear skies.
