The Rulers of Nabataea, reigned over the Nabataean Kingdom (also rendered as Nabataea, Nabatea, or Nabathea), inhabited by the Nabataeans, located in present-day Jordan, south-eastern Syria, southern modern-day Israel, Sinai Egypt, and north-western Saudi Arabia.
The queens of the later Nabataean Kingdom appear alongside their husbands as co-rulers on their coinage.
