Jabal an Nabi Shu'ayb

              Jabal an Nabi Shu'ayb (جبل النبي شعيب‎ mountain of the prophet Shu'ayb) is the highest mountain in Yemen (اليمن) in Sana'a Governorate. Also it is the highest mountain in the Arabian Peninsula. The height of the mountain is 3,666 metres (12,028 ft) and is located near the Yemeni capital of Sana'a
              Although the summit is not snow-capped like its counterparts in northern Lebanon and Syria, there have been reports of snow on the peak and frost in the winter is there daily. Wind speeds are very high at the summit. This side of the mountain halts clouds burdened with precipitation, causing that side to be relatively fertile.
             Yemen's second highest peak, Jabal Tiyal, is nearly equidistant from the capital as Jabal an-Nabi Shu'ayb is.
