Najran is a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia. It's the capital of Najran province, which is along Saudi Arabia's southern border with Yemen. The city is said to have a 4,000 year old history, which began with its settlement by its legendary founder, Najran ibn Zaydan ibn Saba ibn Yahjub ibn Yarub ibn Qahtan.

From its thousands of years of development, Najran is the base from which archaeological discoveries still are being made. Such discoveries range from ancient bronze artifacts to the surviving evidence of the city's role as a focal point of the incense trade, of leather and iron work, and of cloth manufacture. In fact, the city once was home to a Jewish community whose famed cloth makers claimed descent from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
