You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Dhamar''' (((lang-ar|ذَمَار|Ḏamār)); [[Ancient South Arabian script|Old South Arabian]]: '''𐩹𐩣𐩧''' ''Ḏmr'') is a city in south-western [[Yemen]]. It is located at ((coord|14|33|0|N|44|24|6|E|display=inline,title)), at an elevation of around ((convert|2,400|m|ft|abbr=on)).

==Overview==
[[File:Dhamar_Ali_Yahbur_II.jpg|thumb|left|Dhamar Ali Yahbur II]]

Dhamar is situated ((convert|100|km|mile|abbr=on)) to the south of [[Sana'a]], north of [[Ibb]], and west of [[Al Bayda, Yemen|Al-Bayda']], ((convert|2400|-|2500|m|ft|abbr=on)) above sea level. Its name goes back to the [[Tubba'|king]] of [[Sabaeans|Saba']] and [[Himyarite Kingdom|Dhu-Raydan]] at 15-35 AD, whose name was Dhamar Ali Yahbir II, who is renowned for restoring the great [[Marib Dam|dam of Ma’rib]], and whose [[statue]] was found at the city of Al-Nakhla Al-Hamra'a ("The Red Palm"). This city is one of the [[Archaeology|archeological]] sites that are found near Dhamar. The city of Dhamar is the capital of the [[Dhamar Governorate|governorate]], and is situated on the main road, which connects Sana’a with a number of other governorates. This city was one of the prominent Arabian and [[Islam]]ic culture and scientific centers in Yemen ((Citation needed|date=July 2022)).  Its Great Mosque was built in the period of the [[caliph]] [[Abu Bakr]]. As Dhamar City had a great role in Yemen's political and economic life, it had an important historical role in Yemen before the lifetime of the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic Prophet]] [[Muhammad]]. The antique Yemeni engravings mentioned Dhamar city as being a very famous center of the Islamic studies and sciences, and many of the great scientists are attributed to this historical town. In past times, the people of Dhamar were known for bringing up [[horse]]s; the city was an early center of horse-breeding in Arabia. The town is still known in Yemen for its numerous historical [[mosque]]s and schools, which are distinguished by their characteristic architecture in harmony with the colours of its volcanic land.((citation needed|date=November 2019)) A [[volcanic field]], [[Harras of Dhamar]], extends ((convert|80|km|mile|abbr=on)) to the east of the city.<ref name="NVP1963">((citation |last=Neumann van Padang |first=Maur |year=1963 |title=Catalogue of the active volcanoes and solfatara fields of Arabia and the Indian Ocean |location=[[Rome]] |publisher=[[International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior|IAVCEI]] |volume=16 |pages=1–64 |oclc=886615186 ))</ref>

The city of Dhamar, in the center of the Dhamar basin, is of ancient origin. It was built by the legendary [[Himyarite]] King Dhamar Ali Yahbir II. Dhamar is the only town in the former [[Yemen Arab Republic|North Yemen]] that is not surrounded by a wall or natural defensive formations; it is just a settlement on the plains. Centrally situated with connections to the nearby governorates, the town has prospered as a Wednesday market and meeting place for tribes living nearby. It is home to the [[Thamar University|University of Thamar]], the largest university in the country. [[Rosicrucianism|Rosicrucians]] associate Dhamar with the mystical city of Damcar—a city in [[Arabia]] described in the ''[[Fama Fraternitatis]],'' inhabited by scholars and alchemists who studied the lost secrets of [[Hermes Trismegistus]] and [[Solomon]], visited by [[Christian Rosenkreuz]].((citation needed|date=November 2019))

==Climate==
Dhamar has a [[cold semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: ''BSk'').
