Suq Bayt Naʽam ( Arabic: سوق بيت نعم Sūq Bayt Naʽam), also called simply Bayt Naʽam and known historically as Bayt Anʽam, is a village in Hamdan District of Sanaa Governorate, Yemen. [1] It is located at the uppermost part of the Wadi Dahr, where the water from the catchment area above Lu'lu'ah descends into the wadi through a narrow gorge, overlooked by a fort. [2] The road from Sanaa to Shibam Kawkaban passes through here. [2]
History
Bayt Naʽam is called Bayt Anʽam in historical texts from the middle ages and early modern period. [2] Its fort was frequently contested throughout the period, including one occasion in 612 AH (1215 CE) mentioned by Yaqut al-Hamawi as well as in the Ghayat al-amani of Yahya ibn al-Husayn. [2]
