This is a list of rulers of Saba and Himyar. It is based on the unabridged book of Dr. Javad Ali "The history of Arab nations before Islam" which derives and reconstructs the lineage of the kings of Saba and Himyar based on inscriptions and other historiographical evidence. This book is in Arabic and has been translated to Persian. In the Qur'an, the title "Tubba" is used to refer to these rulers.[1]
A more traditional listing is contained in the "See also" section.
