This study focuses on the analysis of the southwestern region of the Arabian Peninsula, which has been less thoroughly investigated compared to other areas of Arabia. Present-day Southwest Arabia is politically divided between parts of Saudi Arabia (the regions of Asir and Najran), Yemen, and a small portion of Oman (Dhofar). The Rub’ al Khali desert, also known as the Empty Quarter, serves as a geographical and cultural barrier between the northern and southern regions.
