Landmarks of the ancient kingdom of Saba, Malibu

Marib, Landmark of the Ancient Kingdom of Saba, is a series of properties comprising seven archaeological sites bearing witness to the richness of the Kingdom of Saba and its architectural, aesthetic and technological achievements from the first millennium BC to the arrival of Islam around 630 AD. They bear witness to the Kingdom’s complex centralized administration at a time when it controlled much of the incense routes of the Arabian Peninsula and played a key role in a wider network of cultural exchange facilitated by trade with the Mediterranean and East Africa. Set in a semi-arid landscape of valleys, mountains and desert, the property includes the remains of large urban settlements with monumental temples, ramparts and other structures. Ancient Marib’s irrigation system reflects the unrivalled prowess of hydrological engineering and agricultural technology in ancient South Arabia, resulting in the creation of the largest ancient man-made oasis.
