Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: It is an ancient Islamic palace in the UAE and dates back to the Julfar period (13th-16th century AD). It was most probably the residence of the ruler of Julfar, once the most famous and prosperous trading town in the whole lower Gulf.
The term "Queen of Sheeba's Palace" refers to the famous queen, who is mentioned in the Quran, and is said to have ruled the Kingdom of Marib in Yemen around 1000 BC. The attachment of her name to this site developed from a local legend and has no historical or archaeological background. |
