to the Shaikh. The principal buildings are two places which are still occupied by part
of the household of the Shaikh, but Khaz'al Khan now resides in an imposing new
mansion called Qasr Khaz'aliyeh, three-quarters of a mile further up the bank of the
Shatt'al-Arab ; his Persian wife, the Jamil-as-Saltaneh, also has her abode there.
Pailiyeh was founded about 1860 by Haji Jabir, the first great Shaikh of the Muhaisin.—

FAIS (M arsa-al)—
A small creek about a mile north-eastward of Has Zabld on the coast of Yemen, south
western Arabia. It forms the mouth of Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. Zabid {q. v.), and is used by slave dhows
for landing their cargoes. The rushes and reeds growing about its mouth are easily dis
tinguishable from the anchorage off it, in 4J fathoms. It would be difficult and even
dangerous to attempt watering here with any surf on the beach.— {Red Sea and Gulf
of Aden Pilot, 1909.)

FAJAR—
A well situated in a small valley of the same name occurring in the midst of the
barren desert which stretches between Tabuk, on the west, the Nafud, on the east y
Jabal Tabaik, on the north, and the Taima oasis on the south. The well, which
contains good water, lies east by north of Tabuk, and at a distance from it of nearly 70
miles, and about 90 miles north-west by north from Taima. It is surrounded by rough
country, and differs in this respect from the location of the other wells in these parts,
except that of Hausa. On this account it is difficult to recognise and dangerous to
approach; and it was at these two wells that raiding parties nearly accounted for Car-
ruthers in 1909. The Ruwalah and Shararat roam over the surrounding waste. Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Fajar trends east-north-eastwards and does not appear to be of any great length.. •
