Abstract
The research deals with the town of Ranya, which had a share of history, and blogging - though I said it - because it is far from important areas, which are full of events, such as Al-Hijaz, Najd, and Assir.
Despite of all of this, Ranya formed one of the transit stations between the south and the north, and it was on the roads of the Hajj caravans , Trade, and travelers; a number of historians, Baladians, and travelers passed through it, so they wrote about their personal observations, or what they heard from its people, or conveyed to them from others, and perhaps one of the most important bloggers from Ranya viewed.
The historian and politician, Mr. Fouad Hamza despite that He did not give us much information, especially regarding the nature of the population, or the civilized aspects Various events, or political events, but most of the focus and blogging were on geographical features, with a conversation not entirely about villages, and some simple civilized aspects, and a brief explanation of the town, its emirate’s headquarters, and its prince at the time, and it passed Ranya at Shawwal in the year 1352 AH / corresponding to February 1934, while he was on his way, and his companions for an official mission assigned to him by King Abdelaziz - may God have mercy on him - as he was head of the Saudi delegation to negotiations with the Yemeni side at the time about the problem of demarcating the borders between the two countries, and he wrote all of this in Chapter V of his book: (in a country of Assir ).
We think that this above-mentioned chapter represent an important subject for a new study that we present here; to revise, correct, compare, and add; what may have been wrong, or forgotten, despite its importance, stressing that there are others also written about Ranya from different historical eras.
This research included an introduction, a preface, and two main topics: the first is devoted to the path from Khurma to Ranya, and the description of the road, while the second is devoted to talking about Ranya - the town, and the valley, and at least there is a conclusion that included the most important results and recommendations .
