Old city of Sana'a

Sana'a is one of the cities in Yemen that dates back to the sixth century BC, when the Sabaean dynasty was still at the height of its power. The earliest written reference to this ancient city was discovered in inscriptions that go back to as early as the first century AD. Researchers suppose that it is the capital city of the HimyaHimyarite kingdom at the beginning of sixth century AD. It has also been known from studies that Sana'a is connected with the spread of Islam from 628 (during the initial part of the Hegira). The entry point to this historic city is the Bab al-Yaman (Yemen Gate) which is over 700 years old.

Even in Ur, the one true God called Abraham to come out and leave the idolatry of Ur. Thus, it seems from an early part of his life, Abraham had an awareness of the one true God, or at the vert least was somewhat separated from a total commitment to the moon God, such that almighty God was able to call him out and he was willing to go.

Throughout scripture Abraham is known as a man of faith, referring to his dedication to the one true God of the Bible and not just faith for its own sake or faith in general. If Abraham had been a follower of the Sabean religion, then there would have to have been a time when he forsook this and separated himself to seek the one true God. It is certainly possible that this happenned, but this would be only conjecture with no documented support, but there is plenty of documented support for him being a faithful believer in the God of the Bible from start to end.
