Sa'dah Governorate

The Sa'dah Governorate spans across mountainous terrain with elevations reaching 2,050 meters in the western section of the territory point.

The region transformed into a governorate following Yemen's unification in 1990, marking a new era in its administrative structure and territorial organization.

The governorate maintains strong Zaydism traditions through its population of 695,033 inhabitants, who practice distinct religious customs across sixteen administrative districts.

Agriculture forms the primary economic activity in Sa'dah, with farmers utilizing the fertile mountain valleys for crop cultivation and livestock production.

Sa'dah contains Suq al-Talh, the largest weapons market in Yemen, which operates as a central trading hub within the northern region.
