About Zafar Museum

Zafar, south of Yarim, was the capital of the Himyarite kingdom, which ruled much of Yemen from the late second century BCE to the sixth century CE. Today it is a small village above the ruins of the ancient city. The museum at Zafar displays carved reliefs, inscriptions and architectural fragments found at the site, and rock-cut chambers can be seen in the hillside around it.
