Wadi Dawan is a side wadi of Wadi Hadramawt, and every bit as beautiful and worth visiting. Houses are made of mud and often painted and it is a good entry to the more famous Wadi Hadramawt.
To a certain extent, they were. Quite soon we started to climb and reached a highland with far vistas, and since it was absolutely empty and there was hardly any traffic, it sometimes seemed we were on an expedition in unexplored territory. Since the roads had been asphalted already, contrary to my expectations based on out of date travel guides, the ride was pretty smooth and we descended into Wadi Dawan. We stopped and had an amazing view over the steep mountain walls, the dry river bed below us, and colourful mud houses forming toy like villages at a distance. When we finally reached the wadi, it was like entering an oven. The narrow space between the two walls on either side of the wadi made sure there was hardly any ventilation, and the sun was burning mercilessly on everything and everyone inside.
