  Better impact of the verses of the Holy Quran on the audience, requires a clear illustration of them, and this is done in the historical stories of the Qur'an using history and geography sciences. One of these stories is the instructive story of the people of Saba in Surah Saba. Saba (sheba) and the Sabaeans (shebaeans) have been studied in various researches, But so far no research has been done on the blessed cities and interconnected villages mentioned in Surah Saba verses 18 and 19. In various interpretations of the Holy Qur'an, explanations have been given as speculation or different narrations, but all of them lack a scientific basis. This research with the help of historical-geographical documents as well as rational principles, by scientifically examining the regions mentioned in these two verses, has provided a clear picture of the verses and has come to the conclusion that the regions in these two verses can not be very far from the mainland of Saba, and most likely, the Qur'an refers to the suburbs of present-day Ma'rib in Yemen.
