We really don't have a precise idea how many people live in Akashat. Officially there are around 5000. I short look around the town indicates that is an inflated figure. On the other hand, greater Akashat (there really is such a thing) is supposed to have 12000 residents. I saw a couple of sub villages, such as the garden community of Sikak (below). No matter which figure you use, Akashat is much bigger than its "parent," Waleed that has a permanent population of only around 500.
