Al-Jannat
Introduction '''Al-Jannat''' ( ) is a small town in Amran District of 'Amran Governorate, Yemen. It is located about 2.5km from 'Amran, the governorate capital, at the edge of the al-Bawn plain. Overlooking the town is the height called Jabal al-Jannat, where the historic fort called Qasr al-Jannat is located.
History During the middle ages, al-Jannat was more significant than 'Amran due to its strategic fortified location. Whereas 'Amran is largely absent from historical texts during this period, al-Jannat appears frequently in accounts such as the ''Ghayat al-amani'' of Yahya ibn al-Husayn and the ''Kitab al-Simt'' of Muhammad ibn Hatim al-Yami al-Hamdani, especially in the 13th century.
