Najran (Arabic: نجران Najrān) is a province of Saudi Arabia, located in the south of the country.

[2] The current governor of the region is Prince Jiluwi bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

[citation needed] Najran, a fertile valley in what is now southwestern Saudi Arabia at the foot of mountains bordering the vast stretch of desert known as the Empty Quarter, was traditionally home to Christian and Jewish communities, in addition to Sulaymani Ismailis and Zaidis.

Sulaymani Ismailis, widely believed to constitute a large majority of the Najrani population, share an identity based on historical, cultural, and religious roots.

In Najran city, the Khushaiwa compound, with its Mansura mosque complex, is the spiritual capital of the Sulaymani branch of the Ismaili sect, one of two major strands of contemporary Ismailism.

They signed the "Najran Pact" in the 7th century with the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, promising them fair treatment as "protected subjects" (dhimmi) of the newly conquered territories.

[citation needed] The houses are built of light tan clay in the shape of a rectangle.

[citation needed] Between the two rows two men meet each other and they dance in specific movements holding stilettos or sticks in their hands.

Since 2023, at least several hundred Ethiopian refugees have been killed at the border between Yemen and the provinces Jazan, ʽAsir, and Najran.
