    Maryamah is an ancient city located along the historic Incense Route in the Ḥarīb Valley, within Hadhramaut Governorate, Yemen. The settlement occupied a strategic position on one of the major trade corridors that connected southern Arabia with the wider ancient world, facilitating the movement of valuable commodities such as frankincense and myrrh. Archaeological remains at the site include temples, stone-built walls, staircases, and numerous inscriptions. These findings suggest that Maryamah played an active role in regional commerce and maintained connections with broader international trade networks that linked Arabia with neighboring civilizations.
    The site is one of the elements included in the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage designation, Old Incense Trade Routes.
