Deesah in the governorate of Deba is a collection of hamlets and villages interspersed with gushing streams that occasionally break into small waterfalls on rocks on hills. At the foot of the hills they wind through green farms of orchards and vegetables.

The weather is either cold or moderate around the year. Natural springs keep the streams full of sparkling water that makes the whole area green and fertile.

The place also has historical sites dating back to the Nabatean times. Some historians claim that Ashab Al-Ras, referred to in the Holy Qur’an, lived in Deesah.

Major villages in Deesah include Abul Ajaj, Dafli, Halfa, Qasib, Bardi and Shaab. A large well in Abul Ajaj is believed to be centuries old.

An ancient caravan route used to pass through the Wadi Tarban in Deesah. Waterfalls on Umdana hills are particularly enchanting.

The Nabatean graves cut in rocks are of great interest to archaeologists. The remnants of ancient structures in the region carry inscriptions in Nabatean language while some walls show Arabic writings in Kufi script.

Recently, the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities took steps to protect archeological sites.
