Additionally, to the southwest lies Doaba, recognised as an urban trading hub attracting Pashtuns from surrounding villages who gather there to engage in commerce, buying and selling various goods.

Unfortunately, the dam has also been the site of numerous tragic incidents where both tourists and locals have lost their lives due to the perilous nature of swimming in its waters, which poses a significant drowning risk.

While there are a few doctors in Naryab addressing minor medical concerns and several pharmacies providing essential medicines, the local community still faces challenges in accessing comprehensive healthcare.

Local oral traditions suggest that it is among the oldest settlements in the Miranzai Valley, predating the nearby town of Hangu and neighboring villages like Doaba.

Between 2006 and 2009, Naryab endured a significant challenge when the TTP launched repeated attacks on the village, aiming to seize control of the Local Markaz, a vital community institution.

Today, Naryab is celebrated not only for its fertile and picturesque landscape but also as a symbol of historical continuity and resilience, with deep roots in the past and an unyielding spirit through the trials of time.
