Muzahmiyah

Muzahmiyah lies west of Riyadh in the Najd uplands. A local account traces its settlement to Ahmad al-Tamimi, who found water while hunting near the valley of Thumamah and established a farm there. He named it after a holding he had left in Wadi Burayk. His descendants and other families built around it, and the settlement grew into a collection of farms and fortified houses.
