Jiblah (Arabic: جِبْلَة)[1] is a town in south-western Yemen, c. eight kilometres (5.0 mi) south, south-west of Ibb in the governorate of the same name. It is located at the elevation of around 2,200 metres (7,200 feet), near Jabal At-Taʿkar (جَبَل ٱلتَّعْكَر).[2][3] The town and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List due to its purported universal cultural value. By 2019 Jiblah University for medical and health science was established in the center of the town of Jiblah. The historical Palace of Queen Arwa is located in the town.[4]
