Inland it is bounded by the Jafurah desert on the west and south and by the Sabakhat
Matti tract on the east. On the coast its limits are Dohat-an-Nakhalah on the west and
D6hat-as-Sila' on the east and its average breadth may be about 20 miles, while south
wards its boundary with Jafurah is perhaps 70 miles from the sea. The Mijan district
is full of stony mounds, apparently as much as 50 or 60 feet high ; at the foot of these
lie firm pebbly tracts, but sand dunes also occur between. The mounds and firmer soil,

found throughout the year.
