Al Mahwit Governorate

The Al Mahwit Governorate extends across 2,858 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with numerous agricultural terraces covering the slopes of hills.

The region transformed from a remote area into a structured governorate after Yemen's unification in 1990, establishing new administrative boundaries and local governance systems.

Local residents maintain traditional agricultural methods passed through generations, cultivating coffee plants, fruits, and vegetables on carefully constructed mountain terraces.

The governorate connects to the capital Sanaa through a network of roads that wind through the mountains, facilitating trade and transportation of agricultural products.

Al Mahwit's elevation and geographic position create specific conditions that enable farmers to produce crops throughout different seasons of the year.
