ʽAlman

ʽAlman (Arabic: علمان ʽAlmān), also ʽUlman,[2] is a village in Bani al-Harith District of Amanat al-Asimah Governorate, Yemen.

[1] It is located on the northern side of the lower end of the Wadi Dahr.

[2] According to the 10th-century writer al-Hamdani, ʽAlman was negatively affected by the collapse of the Rayʽan dam in 859; it had previously been under extensive cultivation, but after the dam collapsed the water supply dwindled.

[2] References by historical writers also indicate that ʽAlman may have been the site of a pre-Islamic palace.
