Jabal Haraz (Arabic: جَبَل حَرَاز, romanizedJabal Ḥarāz) is a mountainous region of Yemen, between Sanaa and Al-Hudaydah, which is considered to be within the Sarat range.[1] In the 11th century, it was the stronghold of the Sulaihid dynasty, many of whose buildings still survive today.[2] It includes Jabal An-Nabi Shu'ayb, the highest mountain in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula.[3]
