With the most important archeological site in Yemen and the remains of a huge dam in its vicinity, Marib is worth the effort it takes to reach it.
Another impressive sight is the remains of the famous dam of Marib. Built in the 6th century BCE, it ran from one side of the wadi to the other, effectively closing it off and providing water not only for consumption, but also for irrigation. It therefore enabled the kingdom to develop agriculture in the desert and apparently sustained the population for more than 1000 years. Now, it is still possible to see the remains on both sides of the wadi, as well as original inscriptions in its walls.
