Marib (; Old South Arabian: 𐩣𐩧𐩨/𐩣𐩧𐩺𐩨 Mryb/Mrb) is the capital city of Marib Governorate, Yemen. It was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Sabaʾ (), which some scholars believe to be the ancient Sheba of biblical fame. It is about east of Yemen's modern capital, Sanaa, and is in the region of the Sarawat Mountains. In 2005 it had a population of 16,794. However, in 2021, it had absorbed close to a million refugees fleeing the Yemeni Civil War.
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.
