Banī Sa'd

The country of Bani Sa'd lies in the Sarawat highlands southeast of Ta'if. Villages occupy the mountain slopes and valleys, where cultivators grow grain and keep livestock. Local markets brought the products of these communities together, including wheat, barley, millet, clarified butter and dried curds. The district takes its name from the Banu Sa'd, an Arab tribal group associated with this part of the Hejaz.
