Al Bayda (Arabic: ٱلْبَيْضَاء|Al-Bayḍāʾ, not to be confused with Al-Bayda' in Al-Jawf, the ancient Nashaq), also transliterated as Baida,[1] Al-Baidhah or Beida, is a town in the Governorate of Al-Bayda in Yemen.
It is located 130mile SE of Sana'a. Rada' (Arabic: رَدَاع|Radāʿ) is the present capital of the Governorate of Al Bayda.
It is the historical capital of the Beda Sultanate from 1636 until 1930.
On 8 October 2014, at least nine people were killed in an attack by Al-Qaeda militants on security and government buildings in the town, officials say. The official Saba News Agency said car bombs were used in the dawn assault, which was repelled.[2]
In July 2021, al-Bayda was the site of intense fighting between Yemeni government-backed forces (aided by their ally Saudi Arabia) on the one hand and Houthi fighters on the other.[3]
According to the 2011 Yemeni census, its population is 29,853.
