' 63 NAB—NAG
Naband bay is more than 3 miles wide and runs inland eastwards for
about 5 miles, becoming shallow towards the foot. The south ^ide of the
bay is low and rocky, is fringed with date plantations, and has hills behind
it rising to a height of some hundreds of feet. The east end is low and
sandy with patches of swamp, and forms the mouth of the great valley
which composes the Garbandi district. On the north side are an anchorage
and fishing-ground off Bidkhun village, which are protected by a sandy
point with a reef extending off it. The only pearl banks of any value on
the Persian coast are about It as Naband, the southern entrance point ot
the bay; diving is carried on but is not remunerative.
Naband is a village with a reef in front of it, inside which native boats
anchor close to the beach. The place consists of about 200 houses of the
A1 Haram 'Arab tribes, but the population, in consequence of the partial
desertion of the place, probably does not exceed GOO souls at the present
time. The inhabitants are nearly all Sunnis, fishermen and pearl-divers,
owning about 28 small baqarehs and 20 varjls. Naband is subject to the
Shaikh of 'Asalu, but is at present held in farm by the Khan ot Dashti.
