tulayh

Updated: May 18, 2025

After three miles we passed, on the left, ruins of long walls and Arab Wasm, with white memorial stones perched on black. In front rose the tall Jebel Tulayh, buttressing the right or northern bank of the Damah; and behind it, stained faint-blue by distance, floated in the flickering mirage the familiar forms of the Tihamah range, a ridge now broken into half a dozen blocks.

We halted, after some sixteen to seventeen miles, at the water El-Ziyayb, slightly brackish but relished by our animals; and resumed our way in the cool sea-breeze at one p.m., passing the Jebel Tulayh on the north bank. The track then left the Damah and turned up a short broad bed to the north-west.
