Al Khubah

Al Khubah (Arabic: الخوبة) is a town and the center of a region located in the Jizan Province of southwestern Saudi Arabia, near the border with Yemen. It is situated in a relatively fertile area compared to some other parts of the province.

The Al Khubah region is primarily agricultural, with farming being a significant source of income for the local population. The climate allows for the cultivation of various crops, including fruits and vegetables.

Historically, Al Khubah has been influenced by its proximity to Yemen, with cultural and economic ties between the two regions. The area has seen periods of both stability and conflict throughout its history, reflecting broader regional dynamics.

In recent years, Al Khubah, like other areas along the Saudi-Yemen border, has been affected by the ongoing conflict in Yemen. This has led to increased security measures and, at times, disruptions to daily life for residents.

The population of Al Khubah consists mainly of Saudi citizens. The region is part of the larger Jizan Province, which is one of the thirteen provinces of Saudi Arabia.
