The jambiya (traditional dagger) remains a cornerstone of cultural identity in Najran Region, symbolizing dignity and heritage during Eid Al-Fitr.

Local men and children integrate jambiya into their festive attire, pairing steel or copper blades with ornately engraved hilts and belts often studded with precious stones.

This enduring craft not only serves as an aesthetic adornment but also as a vital link to Najran's ancient history, reinforcing social bonds and a sense of belonging across generations during popular celebrations.
