The Hadhramaut Mountains (Arabic: جِبَال حَضْرَمَوْت, romanized: Jibāl Ḥaḍramawt),[2] also known as the "Mahrat Mountains"[1] (Arabic: جِبَال ٱلْمَهْرَة, romanized: Jibāl Al-Mahrah), are a mountain range in Yemen.[3] They are contiguous with the Omani Dhofar Mountains to the northeast,[4] and James Canton considered Aden in the southwest to be in the mountains' recesses.[5]
Historically, the area was ruled by Qu'aiti and Kathiri sultanates. The tribal society (Hadramatis) grows wheat and millet, produces also dates, coconuts, and coffee. The area was also known for its frankincense.[6]
