Al-Jannat
Al-Jannat ( ar, الجنات ) 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 Muhammad ( ar, مُحَمَّد; 570 – 8 June 632 CE) was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of Islam.
