Hadhramaut Governorate [a] (Arabic: حضرموت Ḥaḍramawt) is a governorate of Yemen. Lying within the large historical region of Hadhramaut, it is the country's largest governorate. The capital of Hadhramaut is the city of Mukalla. Other cities in Hadhramaut include the historical towns of Shibam, Sena, Seiyun, Tarim, and Ash Shihr.
The Socotra Archipelago was transferred from the Aden Governorate to the Hadhramaut Governorate in 2004.[3] It was subsequently separated to create Socotra Governorate in December 2013.[4]
