Mikhlaf al-Hubishiyah

Mikhlaf al-Hubayshiyya is a historic district of villages around Damt in Yemen's central highlands. Its western edge includes Damt, known for its sulphurous springs, while the district extends eastward among the upland settlements. Al-Qaima in Hubayshiyya was the ancestral home of the al-Hubayshi family, whose jurists and judges served Yemeni communities from the early Islamic centuries. The district belonged to the country associated with Rada, and its villages formed part of the intricate local divisions of the highlands.
