Madam (ar|مدام) is a village in Hamdan District of Sanaa Governorate, Yemen.[1] [2]
Madam is mentioned by the 10th-century writer Abu Muhammad al-Hasan al-Hamdani in his Sifat Jazirat al-Arab, in a section about places mentioned in Arabic poetry.[2] He describes it as a place in Hamdan, but does not quote any corresponding verses.[2] The 13th-century writer Yaqut al-Hamawi also mentions Madam.[2]
