Al-Dayer:The old governorate fort on Mount Habes in Al-Dayer Governorate, Jazan Region, stands as a testament to Saudi Arabia's early administrative beginnings, particularly noted during the celebration of Saudi National Day.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the fort's small rooms were once the center of local governance, with correspondence carried by foot across the mountainous terrain. This initial phase has since evolved into a governorate with villages now connected by roads and services.

The stone structure, covering approximately 120 square meters, features three floors, each with three rooms. These rooms served multiple purposes, including a council chamber, governor's residence, detention space, and kitchen. Mount Habes was strategically selected for its central location, facilitating the management of local affairs despite the challenging landscape.

Today, the building remains intact, thanks to restorative efforts aimed at preserving its original character. The administrative journey continued with Al-Dayer becoming a governorate following the issuance of the Law of Provinces in 1412 AH, marking significant progress from its beginnings as a modest stone headquarters.
