Tower houses made entirely of local stones make Thulla one more jewel in Yemen's crown. Walking to this town has its own merits.
After decending into Shibam from Kawkaban, I decided not to take the trouble of finding transportation to Thulla, but to walk instead. From the perfect vantage point of Kawkaban, I had seen several paths leading to the town on top of the mountains, the weather was nice, and I felt like crossing the plain below me. After asking directions on the outskirts of Shibam, it was easy enough to find the way. However, the town I had always assumed was Thulla, appeared to be another village. In the end, the walk took me much longer than expected, and I arrived in Thulla all thirsty, especially since the last part was all walking up hill. On the way I met more friendly locals, and the walk was certainly worthwhile.
