Sana'a Governorate

The Sanaa Governorate extends across 13,850 square kilometers of mountainous terrain and agricultural lands surrounding the national capital of Yemen.

The governorate emerged from administrative restructuring during the Ottoman period when Yemen's territories were organized into distinct regional jurisdictions.

Each district within the Sanaa Governorate maintains traditional agricultural methods for coffee cultivation, contributing to Yemen's agricultural heritage.

The governorate operates through 16 administrative districts, with local councils managing services and coordinating with central government authorities.

Within the governorate lies Jabal An-Nabi Shuayb, reaching 3,666 meters, which stands as the highest mountain peak in the Arabian Peninsula.
