In the area of indigenous industries, crafts and social customs, Sadah still engages in the frankincense trade to this day, as well as sea fishing. In view of its good returns, diving - in particular for Safilah - is first amongst the traditional livelihoods still practiced. Honey production is also popular here, and livestock breeding and herding. Fish baskets and nets are made, and tanning, plaster quarrying, palm frond weaving, pottery, weaving and embroidery are practiced.
