WHAT DOES HEDJAZ MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hedjaz

Hejaz

Al-Hejaz, also, Hijaz is a region in the west of present-day Saudi Arabia. It is bordered on the west by the Red Sea, on the north by Jordan, on the east by Nejd and on the south by Asir. Its main city is Jeddah, but it is probably better known for the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina. As the site of Islam's holy places, the Hejaz has significance in the Arab and Islamic historical and political landscape. The region is so called as it separates the land of Najd in the east from the land of Tihamah in the west. It is also known as the "Western Province." Historically, Hejaz has always seen itself as separate from the rest of Saudi Arabia because Hejazis are open-minded and liberal, unlike Najd. Hejaz is the most cosmopolitan part of the Arabian Peninsula. 35% of Saudis live in Hejaz. Hejazi Arabic dialect is closely related to Egyptian Arabic. Saudi Hejazis are of ethnically diverse roots. People of Hejaz have the most strongly articulated identity of any regional grouping in Saudi Arabia. Their place of origin alienates them from the Saudi state, which invokes different narratives of the history of the Arabian Peninsula.
