Al-Ṣalīf, coastal village, western Yemen, on the Tihāmah (coastal plain). It is situated in a cove of a promontory forming the southern coast of Kamarān Bay of the Red Sea and is protected by the offshore island of Kamarān, which belongs to Yemen.

Al-Ṣalīf is important because of its large deposits of rock salt. The salt, of exceptional purity, is mined by a government-owned corporation. A large-scale expansion of the Al-Ṣalīf port was completed in 1976. Pop. (2017 est.) 9,178.
