Al Hazm or al-Hazm (Arabic: الحزم) is the principal town of Al Jawf Governorate and Al Hazm District in Yemen. It is located northwest of the city of Ma'rib and southwest of Sa'dah. In the late 1980s a highway was built through Al Hazm, leading to Baraqish and Ma'in to the south to Ma'rib. Yemen was reported by OPEC to have received a $5m loan for the road project on May 11, 1987. It is served by Al Hazm Airport. Al Hazm has been mentioned in numerous publications as being connected with Al Qaeda.
