The One Wiki to Rule Them All

Near Harad was a large region of the land of Harad southeast of Gondor.

To the North, the Men of Gondor and Haradrim regularly skirmished over the territory labelled on the maps as South Gondor. Near Harad bordered Khand to the east, although that boundary was not described by J.R.R. Tolkien. Far Harad was located south of Near Harad.

The majority of Near Harad was a desert, described by Gollum as where the "yellow face is bright and terrible". In the southeast, a natural gulf fed far into the landmass, and a large river flowed inland from there to the northwest, later forking. One branch of the river flowed westwards towards Umbar, the other branch flowed northeast. Neither the gulf nor the rivers were given names by Tolkien[1]. Although no cities or permanent dwellings of the Haradrim were described by Tolkien, it is presumable they were located near these rivers, where the climate may have been milder and where they could make use of the natural irrigation.
