Suq Bayt Naʽam (Arabic: سوق بيت نعم Sūq Bayt Naʽam), also called simply Bayt Naʽam and known historically as Bayt Anʽam, is a village in Hamdan District of Sanaa Governorate, Yemen. It is located at the uppermost part of the Wadi Dahr, where the water from the catchment area above Lu'lu'ah descends into the wadi through a narrow gorge, overlooked by a fort. The road from Sanaa to Shibam Kawkaban passes through here.
