Al-Ḥuṣayniyya

Al-Husayniyah takes its name from an old well northeast of Najran. It stood on routes used by caravans travelling between Yemen, Najd and the Hijaz, offering water to travellers and the people of the surrounding country. Local roads linked the well with the Najran valley and with routes toward the highlands. In the dry interior, such wells were landmarks as well as places to stop.
