Al-Ḥaqw

Al-Haqu lies northeast of Bish, where the mountains descend toward the Tihamah plain. Floodwaters from the valleys of Qura, Tafshah and Shahdan reach its fertile ground, supporting cultivation and livestock. Local tradition associates the district with the Abs branch of Khawlan; old wells and stone fortifications remain among its landmarks. The hilltop fort of Maghis overlooks the surrounding valleys.
