Al-Mudhaffar Steam Bath
Al-Mudhaffar Steam Bath is a historic public bath located in the old city of Taiz, Yemen, near Al-Mudhaffar Mosque. It was built during the Rasulid period in the 13th century AD by Sultan Al-Mudhaffar Yusuf bin Umar bin Rasul. Like many traditional Islamic bathhouses, it served both hygienic and social functions for the inhabitants of the city. The bath reflects the architectural traditions of medieval Yemeni hammams, featuring heated rooms and domed spaces designed to regulate temperature and ventilation.
The site is one of the elements included in the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage designation, The landmarks of Ta’iz City.Elevation: 1312 m
