Jibla ((アラビア語:جبلا)) is a town in southwestern Yemen, close to Ibb. It is located at around , at the elevation of around 2,200 meters. The town and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List due to its purported universal cultural value.〔(Jibla and its surroundings - UNESCO World Heritage Centre, Accessed on 2009-4-20. )〕 Following the death of Sulayhid dynasty ruler Ali al-Sulayhi in 1067, Arwa al-Sulayhi's husband Ahmad became the ''de jure'' ruler of Yemen, but he was unable to rule being paralysed and bedridden. He gave all of his power to Arwa,one of her first actions was to move the capital from Sana'a to Jibla in order to be in a better position to destroy Sa'id ibn Najar and thus avenge her father-in-law's death. This she managed to do by luring him into a trap in 1088. She built a new palace at Jibla, and transformed the old palace into a great mosque where she was eventually buried. ==Gallery== Jibla 01.jpg|The city from a distance Jibla.jpg|Queen Arwa Mosque in Jibla Yemen - by Steve Evans.jpg| 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jibla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
