Al-Dhubi, Al-Dubi (Arabic: الضُبي‎ Dhubī), or the Dhubi Sheikhdom (Arabic: مشيخة الضُبي‎ Mashyakhat ad-Dhubī), was a small state in the British Aden Protectorate. Dhubi was located between Mawsata in the southwest, Hadrami in the northeast, Lower Yafa in the south and Upper Yafa in the north.

Its last sheikh was deposed in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen and the area is now part of the Republic of Yemen.[1]

History

Al-Dhubi was one of the five sheikhdoms of Upper Yafa. It was part nominally of the Western Aden Protectorate, although the date of the treaty is unknown. Al-Dhubi never joined the Federation of South Arabia, but became part of the Protectorate of South Arabia between 1963 and 1967.[2]

Rulers

Al-Dhubi was ruled by sheikhs who bore the title Shaykh al-Mashyakha ad-Dhubiyya.[3]
