A Literary Journey through Najd

Manfuha

A Yamama town on Wadi Hanifa, south of walled Riyadh. Yaqut ties it to al-A'sha; al-Qibli Mosque (1100 AH) is the standing fabric; Philby’s 1918 plan still draws it as a separate settlement.

Thadiq

Thadiq, seat of al-Mahmal north-west of Riyadh (founded 1079 AH), backed King Abdulaziz and holds geological and heritage wealth.
