Rumah

Rumah is a watering place on the edge of the ad-Dahna sands, between the desert and the al-Armah plateau. Its deep wells supplied people and animals before or after the crossing of the dunes. The place was known to Arabic poets, including Jarir, and its name is also associated with long, sharp sand ridges. Fresh water and nearby seasonal pastures made it a useful stopping place on the road between Najd and eastern Arabia.
