Sa'dah Governorate (Muḩāfaz̧at Şa‘dah)
The governorate is 240 kilometers from the capital Sanaa. Northwest of its capital, Saada city, the terrain of the governorate becomes increasingly mountainous and reaches elevations of 2,050 meters in the far west. Between these mountains and Saada city, the terrain is peppered with basins and wadis, ultimately dropping to form arid plains in the east. Rainfall varies greatly according to location. The western mountains of Razih receive as much as 1,000 mm per year, while arid regions east of the governorate's capital can get as little as 50 mm. Given the scarce amounts of arable land in these arid areas, most of the governorate's population lives in the wetter west.
