One of the towns making up Aden, Crater is a special place to visit, both in Aden and in Yemen.
Aden actually is a collection of towns, of which Crater is just one. It is the biggest and oldest, surrounded bu lava rock which gave it is name. Walking around in Crater reveals the international nature of this town both in people and buildings, another difference from the much more homogenous towns and cities elsewhere in Yemen. One of the sights to see here, apart from a seemingly abandoned Pizza Hut, are the cisterns. Also known as the Aden Tanks, these enormous cisterns were constructed to store water which would allow the city to survive sieges. But due to erratic rainfall, they are seldomly filled with water. When I visited, it was very hot and humid and walking up was a sweaty business.
