Yarīm

Yarīm

▪ Yemen
      town, southwestern Yemen. It lies in the heart of the Yemen Highlands, on an upland plateau dominated by the massif of nearby Mount Sumārah, which rises to about 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) above sea level. In antiquity the Yarīm area was the core of the state of Ḥimyar, which ruled over much of southern Arabia from about 115 BC to about AD 575; the Ḥimyarite capital of Ẓafār was about 9 miles (15 km) south of Yarīm. The town is now a way station on the all-weather highway from Sanaa to the city of Taʿizz, in the south; it is also a local trade centre for the farmers and shepherds of the surrounding highland area. The ruins of ancient Ẓafār, off the highway in rugged, mountainous terrain, are still visible. Pop. (1994) 27,802.
