Al Bayda (Arabic: ٱلْبَيْضَاء, romanized: Al-Bayḍāʾ, not to be confused with Al-Bayda' in Al-Jawf, the ancient Nashaq), also known as Baida,[2] Al-Baidhah or Beida, is a town in the Governorate of Al-Bayda in Yemen.

Rada' (Arabic: رَدَاع, romanized: Radāʿ) is the present capital of the Governorate of Al Bayda.

On 8 October 2014, at least nine people were killed in an attack by Al-Qaeda militants on security and government buildings in the town, officials say.

The official Saba News Agency said car bombs were used in the dawn assault, which was repelled.
