The Nejd, or Najd, is the central highland region of Saudi Arabia. Dominated by Riyadh, this is the ancestral home of the ruling al-Saud dynasty, and one of the most conservative parts of the Kingdom. The mosques and mosquegoers in the region are predominantly Wahhabi, Salafi, Muwahhid, Hanbali Muslim and ultra-conservatively Islamic.
