Marib is a city in Yemen that was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Sabaʾ, which scholars associate with the biblical kingdom of Sheba. In recent years, it has become significant as a refuge site, growing from about 16,800 residents in 2005 to nearly a million people by 2021 as Yemenis fled the country's ongoing civil war.

Chr. Sie befindet sich etwa 100 km östlich von Sanaa im Jemen. Das heutige Ma'rib hat etwa 21.000 Einwohner und ist Hauptstadt des Gouvernements Ma'rib. Es ist de facto die Hauptstadt der allgemein anerkannten Regierung des Jemen.
