ing it from the site of the now deserted village of Ghariyah which is also on the coa^t;
according to another account, however, the Jabal is merely a vertical cliff 30 feet high,
against the foot of which the sea breaks. The village is surrounded by towers, but it
is not continuously walled and there are no gates. The houses upon the circumference
of the village are substantially built of stone and mud. The population of Fuwairat
consists of about 100 houses of the A1 Bu Kuwarah tribe and 50 of Kiblsah : these
communities are divided from one another by a well-marked street and form
a southern and a northern quarter respectively. The people live chiefly by pearl diving,
but they also own some 20 horses, 100 camels, 60 donkeys and 80 cattle. About 35
pearl boats, 9 other sea-going vessels, and 12 fishing boats belong to the place. There
are no s ops. ndifferent water is obtained from the Zarka well, 1 mile west of the
village, and good water from the wells of Filihah, and 'Ain Sanan distant 2 and 4 miles
