A perfect day trip from San'a, Wadi Dhahr has more to offer than the famous Dar al Hajar rock palace: small villages, stone watch towers, and views from the mountain tops.
I crossed some fields to end up at a makeshift soccer field where two boys were playing with a ball and was directly invited to join. After half an hour of play with a very soft ball I decided I had had enough exercise in the middle of the day and went on to explore the village. It is almost as if the houses are growing out of the bedrock. They blend perfectly well into the landscape and look like an integral part of it. In this village, I saw towers with a mafraj or top floor for social gatherings, flowers, and the typical Yemeni houses with white decorations.
