Al-Naimah (Arabic: النعيمة), also al-Naima, al-Naimeh or Elnaymah, is a village in southern Syria, administratively part of the Daraa Governorate, located east of Daraa. Nearby localities include Ataman to the northwest and Saida to the east.
History
In the Ottomantax registers of 1596, it was a village located the nahiya of Butayna, Qada of Hauran, under the name of Nu'ayma. It had a population of 35 households and 12 bachelors, all Muslims. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 40% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 15,600 akçe. By the beginning of the 19th century, the village had been abandoned, and in 1838 Eli Smith noted that the place was located west of the Hajj road, and that it was in ruins.
In the 1850s, the village was reestablished by the townspeople of Daraa during a resurgence in grain cultivation to meet growing demand in the Damascene and European markets.
