It is a land rich in various fruits, dairy products, ghee, and honey, and is one of the most beautiful and fruit-laden regions. From Haws, one travels to the tip of Juj, a promontory extending into the sea, approximately 24 miles by sea and 13 miles by land. From this tip, one sails south to Jazair al-Hammam, a distance of approximately 24 miles by sea and 18 miles by land. From Jazair al-Hammam to the mouth of Wadi Salaf is 23 miles. From there to Fuluj al-Gharatin, in the middle of the coast, is 12 miles. Fuluj is a cemetery of the Bais. From al-Uluuj to the city of Tanas is 13 miles along the coast. From Tanas to the tip of the coast is 6 miles. Thus, from the tip of Juj to the tip of the coast is approximately 69 miles by sea and 40 miles by land. From the tip to the port of Amnku is 10 miles. From Amnku, sailing along the coast to the port of Wusura is approximately 40 miles by sea and 30 miles by land. This is a narrow port, sheltered from the east wind but not from others. Wafur is at the end of the coast. From Wafur to the city of Bashk is 20 miles. We have already mentioned Bashk and Shershal. Between Bashk and Shershal, along the sea, is a large, impregnable mountain inhabited by a Berber tribe called Rabia. From Shershal to the tip of al-Bithal, which extends into the sea, is 12 miles. Opposite this tip is a small island in the sea. From the tip of al-Bithal, one reaches Jun Thawr. This coast is 40 miles by land and approximately 60 miles by sea. It is a small village in the middle of the coast, some distance from the sea, inhabited by whale hunters. Its location is a cove where no one can ascend, and from which the sea is inaccessible. From the end of Jun Thawr to Jazair Bani Mazghana is 18 miles, which we have mentioned previously.
