The southern Jaulan district was poor and rocky, supporting a very small population and groups of nomads from the Wuld Ali in the eastern desert, while the north is more fertile with a large Circassian colony in and around Kuneitra.
Det sydlige Jaulan distrikt var fattigt og stenet, beboet af en lille befolkning af nomader fra Wuld Ali i den østlige ørken, mens norden var mere frugtbar med en stor Circassiansk koloni i og omkring Kuneitra.
