== Saham Fort and Souq == The best known landmarks in Saham are its historic souq and fort. The souq was renovated to modern standards in 2018. It hosts a regular market where farm owners bring their livestock for sale on the seventh day of Dhu al-Hijja, three days before Eid Al Adha, where sacrificial lambs can be bought for the holiday.
