Bayt Hanbas (Arabic: بيت حنبص Bayt Ḩanbaş) is a village in Bani Matar District of Sanaa Governorate, Yemen.[1][2] It is located above the Qa al-Nahim plain, in the mountains southwest of Sanaa.[2]

History

According to the 10th-century writer al-Hamdani, Bayt Hanbas is named after one Ḥanbaṣ b. Yuʽfir Dhī Yahar, of the tribe of Himyar.[2] Al-Hamdani described Bayt Hanbas as once having been the site of at least one great palace, which had been destroyed by the Qarmatians in 908 CE (295 AH).[2] No traces of the palace exist today.[2] Later, during the 13th and 14th centuries, Bayt Hanbas served as a minor stronghold of the Banu Shihab tribe.[2]
