In the 1960s, the area was part of a British Empire British protectorate of Dhala (a member of the Federation of South Arabia) and was the site of intense fighting during the Aden Emergency. In 1964, local Qutaibi tribe tribespeople attacked British on the Aden to Mecca caravan route which passed through the nearby town Ad Dali' Dhala (Ad Dali'). The tribespeople had traditionally collected tolls from passing caravans, but the implementation of the customs union of the South Arabian Federation in 1962 put a stop to this. The tribespeople resented the loss of this income. The highest peak is Jebel Huriyah at 1867m (6125 feet).
