Ahad al Masarihah is a governorate in Jizan Province, in south-western Saudi Arabia, bordering Yemen[2]
The governorate of Ahad al Msarihah is one of the governorates of the Jizan region, with villages and hamlets. There's a local market known as the Sunday Market with a carpentry area. It has grassland on the banks of the Khlab Valley in the form of a circular belt along Prince Muhammad Bin Nasser Ring Road.
A notable archaeological site in the governorate is the city of Al-Khasouf. The historian Al-Hamdani mentioned it in his book The Characteristics of the Arabian Peninsula in four places. He said,
The width of the khasuf is a city of hakam, like the width of [the] sadah and its length from the east is one hundred nineteen degrees.
