Ta'izz Governorate

The governorate encompasses 5,344 square kilometers of land with mountains, agricultural fields, and twenty administrative districts in central Yemen's highlands.

The territory includes Dhafar, which served as the capital city of the Himyarites, and Jiblah, the former capital of Al-Sulayhi state.

The region maintains traditional water management systems that allow farmers to store seasonal rains and cultivate crops throughout dry periods.

Ibb Governorate produces wheat, barley, sesame, and sorghum, contributing to 5.6 percent of Yemen's total agricultural production.

The governorate receives the highest rainfall in Arabia, with annual precipitation reaching 1,000 millimeters due to southwestern monsoonal flows.
