Random information on the term “Saudi Arabian capital”:
Manfuha (Arabic: منفوحة) is an ancient village and a historical neighborhood in southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Established on the edge of the narrow, fertile valley known as Wadi Hanifa, Manfuha was until the mid-20th century considered a twin village to the walled town of Riyadh, the current Saudi capital.[citation needed]
Manfuhah derives from the Arabic word of nafaha (Arabic: نفح, romanized: nafaḥa), which loosely translates to blowing wind or being fragrant. It was reportedly attributed to its climatic nature.
According to Yaqut’s 13th-century geographical encyclopedia Mu’jam Al-Buldan, Manfuha was built a few centuries before Islam at the same time as Hajr (now Riyadh) by members of the Banu Hanifa tribe and their cousins from the tribe of Bakr. Manfuha was home to the famous Arab poet Al-A’sha, who died at around the same time as the Muslim prophet Muhammad, but little is heard of Manfuha after that time. At the turn of the 20th century, its population was made up largely of members of Banu Hanifa and Bakr (who by now had come to identify themselves with the related tribe of ‘Anizzah), as well as members of Tamim and Subay’. Like all Nejdi towns, its population also included a large percentage of non-tribally-affiliated tradesmen (sonnaa’), as well as many slaves and freedmen working as agricultural labourers. Like Riyadh, the town was surrounded by gardens and palm groves.[citation needed]
