Once serving as a fortress against unwanted invaders and to control access to Wadi Hadramawt, all that remains of Husn al Urr are ruins and the strategical location.
When I rented a 4WD in Al Mukalla to visit Wadi Hadramawt and surrounding area, one of the places I wanted to visit was Husn al Urr. It seemed to be off the beaten track, and since according to my information the asphalt road stopped after Tarim, I expected a desolate, forgotten place. In fact, when I asked about the place before leaving Al Mukalla, I had to point out Husn al Urr on the map because it did not ring a bell. Neither the driver or the soldier that was travelling with me for protection against potential kidnappings, ever heard about the fortress.
