Rada'a is one of the cities of the Republic of Yemen. It is situated in the southeastern region of the capital city of Sana'a, approximately 150 kilometers away from it,[1] at an elevation of approximately 2100 meters above sea level. Geographically, Rada'a belongs to the Al-Bayda governorate. It is situated within the administrative boundaries of the Rada'a district. The 2004 census recorded the population of the area as 57,215.
It is one of the ancient Yemeni cities referenced in the Victory Inscription (RES.3945), an inscription written by the Sabean king "Karb-el-Watr," also known as the Makrab of Sheba, in the seventh century BCE. It is postulated that the Himyarite monarch, "Shamar Yahrash," resided in Rada'a, which may be indicative of the ancient origins of this settlement. Additionally, some writers have described it as a town with a favorable climate and an abundance of land, grapes, and fruits. It is situated in close proximity to several districts, including Anas to the north, Murad to the east, Al-Bayda and Yafi to the south, and Yarim and Ammar to the west. The lands of Rada'a are watered from the Ghayl al-Dawla and Ghayl al-Majri, and their water flows to two sides. The western valleys, fed by the water from the aforementioned sources, flow into Wadi Bina and Yarim and then run to Abyan, eventually pouring into the sea. In a parallel course, the water from Rada'a, Thah, Al-Arash, Al-Sawadiyah and Radman, also fed by the Ghayl al-Dawla and Ghayl al-Majri, flows into Wadi Adnah and ultimately into Marib.[2]
