Na'wah[1] or Nawa[2] (Arabic: نعوة[3]) was a sheikhdom and dependency of Upper Yafa.
[7] It was annexed by the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen after the end of World War I, alongside Rubeaten (another Upper Yafa dependency) and later the Beda Sultanate.
[2] Na'wah laid on the frontier between Ottoman and British Yemen, to the north-east of Qa'tabah, and on the left bank of the Wadi Bana.
[1] One village, located 5 miles (8 km) from Wadi Bana, was called Na'wah.
[8] For a long time, there was close commerce between Na'wah, Juban and Upper Yafa.
