Tower houses made entirely of local stones make Thulla one more jewel in Yemen's crown. Walking to this town has its own merits.
The town sits at the foot of a mountain on which a fortress is built. Like in Shibam, it is there that inhabitants would seek shelter in times of attack. Thulla actually never fell to enemies' hands. Unfortunately, it was not possible to visit the fortress as the only way up was closed. Instead, I explored the inner streets and alleys of the town, which rewarded me with more attractive houses, but also stones thrown at me by local children. On my way out, I had to wait two hours for transportation, was harrassed again by the same guy, and the driver turned out to be a 14 year old boy.
