Similar ceremonies have also been held in other areas such as Sa'dah and Al Hudaydah among others.
Earlier, the union of Yemeni scholars had called on the Yemeni nation to participate in celebrations in great masses, describing Milad-un-Nabi as a global and Islamic event.
Milad-un-Nabi plays a major role in creating unity among Muslims and avoidance of tension and division, added the scholars.
The celebrations were held while Yemen is facing with severe economic siege and Saudi-led aggression.
