San'a is located at 15.354722? N 44.20667? E. San'a lies in the heart of Yemeni highlands on a plateau at an altitude of 2200m surrounded by several mountains notably Jabal Nuqum and Aiban. The city is around 320 Km north of Aden. San'a is one of the ancient Yemen cities dating back to the Sabean dynasty. The oldest reference to its existence is found in inscriptions which date back to the 1st Century AD. It is suggested that San'a was the capital of the Himyarite kingdom at the onset of the 6th Century AD. When King Yousef Athar (or Dhu Nuwas), the last of the Himyarite kings, was in power San'a was also the capital of the Ethiopian viceroys, then after 570 of the Persians. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southern port of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what became South Yemen. Three years later, the southern government adopted a Marxist orientation. The massive exodus of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis from the south to the north contributed to two decades of hostility between the states. The two countries were formally unified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. A southern secessionist movement in 1994 was quickly subdued. In 2000, Saudi Arabia and Yemen agreed to a delimitation of their border..
