Notes	The study reviewed the town of Haddah: on the Mecca-Jeddah road, from its establishment until the end of the Ottoman era. The study indicated that the prosperity of the road linking Mecca and Jeddah was what led to the emergence of Haddah, and it is also likely that this road’s emergence was linked to the prosperity of both cities together, especially after Jeddah turned into a port for Mecca, after the Rightly Guided Caliph, Othman bin Affan, destroyed it in the year 26 AH/646 AD. The study showed that food and other goods were arriving to Mecca via Jeddah. When the road between Mecca and Jeddah was cut off, the prices of goods in Mecca would rise accordingly. The study showed that Haddah lost its importance as a way station during the Fatimid era (358-567 AH / 968-1171 AD), as Al-Bakri describes it only as a place without referring to it as a way station between Mecca and Jeddah. The study showed that during the Ottoman era, Haddah became known as a town. Ibrahim Rifaat Pasha mentioned this while talking about it, although he points out that the pilgrim procession during that time, in the year 1318 AH/1900 AD, no longer stopped at Haddah and was replaced by Bahra. The study indicated that Haddah was a gathering point for either the forces of the Sharif of Mecca, or the forces of those opposing him, in their struggle over the leadership of Mecca, or the coastal cities of Hijaz, and Wadi Mur (Fatima). The results of the study concluded that Haddah was a town at the beginning of its inception, a station on the road between Mecca and Jeddah, and then it turned into an urban center of importance on the road.
