Najran----can anyone tell me about people from this city

loool ,, well , it consider as a border city , i guess most of Najrani people are from Yamane . Najran is a poor area .  the same taken to its people .  native Saudis don't like to go there . but it's safe any way .but culturally , native people hate that area due to many reason I guess.  heeey good luck .

No on hates that area, I never heard anything like that, and I don't think it's that bad.

It's one of the big towns of Saudia, an agricultural city with amazing weather that you would forget its Saudia.

well , i hate it myself and i hate London ..  that doesn't mean itss a bad city ..sir

are they good, honest people...do they accept foreigners, or are they closed minded?

One cannot put a finger on a single city and generalize it as good, bad or ugly. The people within may have varying traits, personalities and attitudes. Thats common across the planet. Crime is very high in many US States. That doesnt make those States bad or unlivable. We dont see people moving out of these locations en masse at any point of time.

Foreigners are located everywhere in KSA since they have tasks and activities to carry out that cannot be done by locals. Imagine the garbage disposal situation in KSA if all the Baladiya employees were to leave? The whole nation would end up like Smokey Mountain in the Philippines...

The only generalization I will make is that the smaller the city, the more conservative it is. Is this fair?

Hello!
People there are better generosity. And a little different in customs and traditions. I am not from there. But if you need more a details about it, I would love to help.
Best Wishes,

Heres the Wiki version of Najran:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Najran

i know for sure that its hard to generalize.  i know najrani people have a different culture and different form of islam than the rest of saudi.  i am familiar with the basic history of najran.  i have met a few najranis here in the us, and was wondering to see perceptions of other people of najranis.......
for example...if an american married a najran man, is that a really big no no?  does anyone know if najran people accept outsiders in that way.  i agree in gerneral terms, the smaller the town, the more conservative....but, from what i have heard, they dont have the same wahabbi hang ups..............???

Agreed!

hi i am a doctor i have been posted at najran to work for moh .but considering the current situation there and also in genaral is it a good place to live.
