Al-Hajarayn or Hagarein[1] is a village in east-central Yemen. It is located on the Wadi Kasr, in the lower part of the Wadi Duan.

History

In the 1890s, Theodore Bent and his wife, Mabel Bent, visited Al-Hajarayn. At the time, it was ruled by Sultan Abdul M'Barrek Hamout al Kaiti. Bent stated that although the Sultan was "not entirely under Makalla [<nowiki/>[[Qu'aiti]]]" despite being under their influence.[2] By 1901, Al-Hajarayn had fallen under Qu'aiti rule alongside the rest of Wadi Duan.[3]
