Dhubab is a small coastal town in the Taiz Governorate of south-western Yemen. It is the seat of Dhubab District.
During World War I, British patrol vessels shelled Dhubab fort in November 1914. They later opened fire on Yakhtul on 8 December 1914, damaging 7 or 8 dhows moored there.[1]
Dhubab lies on the coast of the Red Sea on a jutting headland, 46.6 kilometres by road south of Mocha and north of Mayyun.[2] [3]
