SANA'A











Ghaddam Palace Hotel, Sana'a



In Sana'a you would be standing on an elevation of about 7000 ft above sea level.  Surrounded by mountains of basalt, and situated in a relatively flat plain, Sana'a remained one of the major cities in Yemen throughout history.  Tourists arriving in Sana'a aren't interested in seeing the development, and  the change that has taken place in Sana'a much as they're interested in focusing their attention on the historic and ancient city of Sana'a.
The Yemeni architecture is apparent not only in the old houses of historic Sana'a, but also in the new houses, and buildings which are still built today.  Modern architecture in Yemen is still influenced by traditional architecture.The Yemeni architecture reflected the genius of the Yemeni people, and the variation in building styles from one region to another within Yemen attest to that fact.
THE DESERT JOURNEY

I gaze across the desert sands
Which wend their way to
the edge of the sky
This land of nothingness
so vast and empty
Reflects the chambers
of my heart so dry
