al-Husaisa (Arabic: الحسيسه) is a village in Hadramaut, Yemen, about east of the capital city of San'a. It is located east of Seiyun and west of Taribah. The village is accessible by taking an off-ramp from N-5 highway connecting Seiyun and Tarim. It is about from Tarim heading west.

The village is very sparse as there is only a few houses built and some farms.[2] The village is known as the place where the Shrine of Imam Ahmad al-Muhajir or Rubath al-Muhajir (Arabic: رباط المهاجر) is located.
