Samtah

The Samtah Governorate extends across a section of southwestern Saudi Arabia, featuring both urban developments and agricultural lands near the Red Sea coast.

The establishment of Samtah as a governorate strengthened the administrative organization of Jazan Province following Saudi Arabia's territorial consolidation in 1932.

Residents of Samtah maintain regional traditions through regular markets where merchants display local products, textiles, and agricultural goods from Jazan Province.

The governorate contains multiple service centers, educational facilities, and medical clinics that serve the population of over 150,000 inhabitants.

Samtah's position near agricultural zones enables the cultivation of tropical fruits including mangoes, papayas, and figs throughout different growing seasons.
