village of- Hajir on its bank a few hundred yards above Taw lah: Hajir was founded
about 1875 by Saiyid Hilal-bin-Ahmad who purchased the water supply from the B' '
Wahaib : it consists of 30 stone houses and huts ( f the Bani Wahaib to whom part oHt
still belongs : it produces dates in considerable quantities, also melons, limes figs and
mangoes : livestock are 30 camels, 40 donkeys, 20 cattle and 200 sheep and ao'ats For
8 miles above the junction Wadi Jannah lies in Saih Hatat, whence its alternative name ■
it is formed by the junction at the head of Saih Hatat of two short vaUeys, Wadi Qahza
from 'Aqabat-al-Qahza on th3 west and Wadi 'Amdah from 'Aqabat 'Amdahmoreto
the east. Each of these valleys contains a route from Matrah to Wadi Tay n; the passe?
of both are difficult that of 'Amdah especially so. Wadi-al-Hilu joins Wadi Maih on its
east bank immediately bolow Yiti ; but the junction being so near the coast, it can hardly
be reckoned a tributary. Wadi Maih below Tawilah contains a fast-Howing stream
which irrigates the two villages of Mizra', but its aspect in its lower course is generally
barren. The uppermost 7 villages are said to possess 30,000 date palms ; and frankin
cense is stated to be obtained in their vicinity, but this is doubtful.
