Once the capital of the Yemeni highlands, Jibla is an attractive town nowadays, in the hills of the southern Central Highlands.
The history of Jibla really starts in the 11th century, when Queen Arwa ruled for 52 years. She managed to make Jibla the capital of Yemen, and she introduced other ideas as well, some of which continue to have their impact on to our own days, like terraced agriculture. The town is relatively rich, has elaborate stone towers, views over the valley, and lots of children to run after you and accompany you. The main attractions are the mosques, notably the Queen Arwa mosque, and the Qubbat Bayt az-Zum mosque.
