Jazan Region ((アラビア語:جازان) ') is the second smallest (smallest region is Al Bahah) region of Saudi Arabia. It stretches some 300 km along the southern Red Sea coast, just north of Yemen. It covers an area of 11,671 km² and a population of 1,365,110 at the 2010 census (preliminary result). The capital is the city of Jazan; Muhammad bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz is the current Governor. The region includes over 100 islands in the Red Sea. Jazan is the poorest area in Saudi Arabia. 34% of Saudi families in Jazan live in poverty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/culture/2012/10/poverty-rising-issue-in-saudi-society.html )〕 The Farasan Islands, Saudi Arabia's first conservation protected area, are home to the endangered Arabian gazelle and, in winter, migratory birds from Europe. ==Geography== The region divides into three parts. * The Al-Sarawat mountains inland, which rise to about 3,000 metres. * The Alhazoun forest district consists of forest broken by some areas of rich pasture. * The plains are noted for the production of coffee beans, cereal grain crops (barley, millet and wheat) and fruit (apples, bananas, grapes, mangoes, papayas, plums and citrus varieties). Though the climate on the highlands is similar to the relatively wetter climate of 'Asir, the coastal regions of Jazan province are part of Tihamah, probably the hottest place in the country, with mean maximum temperatures ranging from 40 °C (104 °F) in July to 31 °C (88 °F) in January. High humidity from coastal lagoons makes the climate even less bearable than it would be otherwise. Rainfall is extremely low at less than 75 millimetres (3 inches) per year. Sabya is located in the center between the mountain and the beach. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jizan Region」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
