As a result, the Houthis control only about 20 per cent of Marib and the oil fields remained under Hadi's control. Many of the tribes in Marib, and in neighbouring al-Jawf and Shabwa provinces, are loyal to <a href="/wiki/Al-Islah_(Yemen)" title="Al-Islah (Yemen)">Al-Islah Party</a>. According to two tribal chiefs, there are 8,000 Yemeni forces and tribal fighters based in Marib united against the Houthis. Some are directly loyal to President Hadi, others to Saudi Arabia, and a large number to the <a href="/wiki/Al-Islah_(Yemen)" title="Al-Islah (Yemen)">al-Islah Party</a>, an Islamist group. The entire First Armoured Brigade, considered a military wing of al-Islah, based in Sanaa, was transferred to Marib in 2014 to defend the province. Other sections of Yemen's military remained loyal to Ali Abdullah Saleh, the former president overthrown by Arab Spring protests who has now sided with the Houthis against Hadi. After the Saudi-led coalition joined the war in March 2015 and drove the Houthis from most of Yemen's southern provinces in July 2015, the focus shifted to Marib, known as the gateway to Sana'a, where the strong support base made it a natural location for an attack in the north.<sup id="cite_ref-TN_2015_Ma’rib_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TN_2015_Ma’rib-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to <a href="/wiki/Al_Jazeera_Arabic" title="Al Jazeera Arabic">Al-Jazeera</a>, by 7 April 2015, Houthi forces had been expelled from the majority of <a href="/wiki/Marib_Governorate" title="Marib Governorate">Marib Governorate</a> by Saudi-backed tribesmen.

The coalition began moving supplies to Marib in March 2015, using land routes from Saudi Arabia through Hadramout and Shabwa provinces. In August 2015, coalition forces started flying more reinforcements to Marib using a small airport in the tiny town of Safer, 60 km east of Marib city. Loyalist military sources said further reinforcements including tanks, armoured vehicles, rocket launchers and Apache helicopters arrived August 2015. The town serves as a base for the state-run <a href="/wiki/Yemen_Oil_and_Gas_Corporation" title="Yemen Oil and Gas Corporation">Safer Exploration and Production Operations Company</a> and other foreign companies working in Yemen's vital energy sector.

Retrieved <span class="nowrap">27 June</span> 2008</span>. <q>The kingdom of Saba is known to have existed in the region of Yemen. By 1000 BC caravan trains of camels journeyed from <a href="/wiki/Oman" title="Oman">Oman</a> in south-east <a href="/wiki/Arabia" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabia">Arabia</a> to the Mediterranean. As the <a href="/wiki/Camel_driver" class="mw-redirect" title="Camel driver">camel drivers</a> passed through the <a href="/wiki/Desert" title="Desert">deserts</a> of Yemen, experts believe that many of them would have called in at Marib. Dating from at least 1050 BC, and now barren and dry, Marib was then a lush <a href="/wiki/Oasis" title="Oasis">oasis</a> teeming with <a href="/wiki/Palm_tree" class="mw-redirect" title="Palm tree">palm trees</a> and <a href="/wiki/Introduced_species" title="Introduced species">exotic</a> plants. Ideally placed, it was situated on the trade routes and with a unique dam of vast proportions. It was also one of only two main sources of <a href="/wiki/Frankincense" title="Frankincense">frankincense</a> (the other being East Africa), so Saba had a virtual monopoly. Marib's wealth accumulated to such an extent that the city became a byword for riches beyond belief throughout the Arab world. Its people, the <a href="/wiki/Sabaeans" title="Sabaeans">Sabeans</a> – a group whose name bears the same etymological root as Saba – lived in <a href="/wiki/South_Arabia" title="South Arabia">South Arabia</a> between the tenth and sixth centuries BC. Their main temple – <a href="/wiki/Mahram_Bilqis" class="mw-redirect" title="Mahram Bilqis">Mahram Bilqis</a>, or temple of the moon god (situated about three miles (5 km) from the capital city of Marib) – was so famous that it remained <a href="/wiki/Sacred" class="mw-redirect" title="Sacred">sacred</a> even after the collapse of the Sabean civilisation in the sixth century BC – caused by the rerouting of the spice trail. By that point the dam, now in a poor state of repair, was finally breached. The <a href="/wiki/Irrigation" title="Irrigation">irrigation</a> system was lost, the people abandoned the site within a year or so, and the temple fell into disrepair and was eventually covered by sand. Saba was known by the <a href="/wiki/Hebrews" title="Hebrews">Hebrews</a> as Sheba <i>[Note that the collapse of the dam was actually in 575 C.E., as shown in the timeline in the same article in the History Files, and attested by MacCulloch (2009)].</i></q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Saba+%2F+Sa%27abia+%2F+Sheba&rft.pub=The+History+Files+%28http%3A%2F%2Fwww.historyfiles.co.uk%29&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.historyfiles.co.uk%2FKingListsMiddEast%2FArabicSaba.htm&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AMarib" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Burrows2010-4"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Burrows2010_4-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Burrows2010_4-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFRobert_D._Burrowes2010" class="citation book cs1">Robert D.
