Purchase Dar al Hajar or Rock Palace in Wadi Dhahr (Yemen)

Symbol of Yemen, Dar al Hajar or Rock Palace towers high above Wadi Dhahr as a fairy tale palace. It can also be visited from the inside.
What makes the building so attractive is perhaps because it is exemplary of Yemeni architecture, it seems to grow out of the rocks on which it is constructed, and it has the characteristic painting of its windows and edges. Furthermore, it is standing all alone and can be seen from all sides. Buying a ticket will grant you access to the palace. Walking up the many stairs brings you to various rooms: the kitchen, storage rooms, rooms for women, meeting rooms for high placed persons and friends of Imam Yahya who built the palace as a summer residence in the 1930s.
