Shahran
Shahran is one of the largest tribes in the 'Asir And Jizan region of Saudi Arabia. Shahrani lands are bordered by Subay' and Al-Shalaowah from the north, 'Abida and Rofaidah from the east, Al Njou’ from the South, and Banou Sha’ba, Mogaidah, Banou Melk, Bal’smar, Banou Sheher, Balgern and Shamran from the west.. The noticed density to the west of Shahrani lands is due to the presence of the large city of Abha in that direction. Through history, tribal wars have been waged between the two neighbors, especially between Shahran and the other major tribe of the area, Qahtan. Such wars are, of course, no longer waged after the formation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Shahran's largest and main city is Khamis Mushayt. Khamis Mushayt is noted for being the fourth largest trading center in Saudi Arabia, and is famous for its world-class military airbase.
Sharan is a large tribe, thus comes its name which means “wide Shahran” in Arabic. The number of this tribe reaches 5 million people, and is thus one of the largest in Arabia. The head of Shahran is assigned to the House of Mushayt, and has been such for hundreds of years now.
