Baish governorate, Administrative governorate in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia

Baish governorate extends along the Red Sea coast, bordered by Al-Darb, Sabya, Huraymila, and Al-Rayth governorates within southwestern Saudi Arabia.

The region received its current administrative structure through the Regions System implementation by Royal Order A/92 in March 1992.

The area holds the name Umm al-Khashab Village due to its long history of wood extraction from the numerous trees in the region.

Highway 5 connects the governorate to major western coastal cities, while the Baish Valley Dam supplies water to both Aseer and Jazan regions.

The Northern Beach stretches 1.7 kilometers with golden sand dunes, while Wadi al-Fatiha maintains water flow throughout all seasons.
