Al-Sayyida al-Hurra Arwa bint Ahmad, the wife of the powerful Sulayhid ruler Al-Mukarram Ahmad (reigned 1067-84),  ruled after her husband's death and established a new Sulayhid capital at Dhu Jibla. There she built a palace and a mosque that notably introduced several features characteristic of Fatimid mosques in Egypt. With Arwa's death in 1138, the effective power of the Sulayhid dynasty ended although a few Sulayhid princes continued to hold fortresses until the end of the twelfth century. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
