History
[edit]Jaroudiya is situated to the northwest of Umm Al-Hamam, near Badr al-Badrani—a historic rest stop for pilgrims during the era when camels were the primary means of desert travel. The town is located atop the Sald Mountains. Families originating from the area are commonly known as Jaroudi, Jarudi, or Al-Jaroudi. Like the rest of the Qatif Governorate, Jaroudiya is home to a predominantly Shia Muslim population.
