The largest wadi in the Arabian Peninsula, Wadi Hadramawt is home not only to famous towns like Shibam and Tarim, but it has much more to offer.
Coming from Wadi Dawan, entering Wadi Hadramawt means arriving from a relatively small tributary wadi into the main wadi. Here, the wadi is around 2 kilometres wide and some 300 metres deep with steep rock faces on both sides. Although the area in general is arid, Wadi Hadramawt is fertile and always has sufficient water supply, regularly replenished by seasonal rains. It makes the wadi look green, and it also permitted its inhabitants to settle already since many centuries. Indeed, the wadi rose to importance as part of the famous incense route and it will again gain importance once the highway from San'a to Oman will be ready.
