With the most important archeological site in Yemen and the remains of a huge dam in its vicinity, Marib is worth the effort it takes to reach it.
The day we drove down to the wadi in which Marib lies, was a day of strong winds, and therefore inevitably also a day of hot, sandy air. When we finally arrived near Marib, it was as if a dense fog had descended on the landscape, obscuring almost everything with a shower of sand. It was a pity because we could have had much better views, but at the same time it also added to our experience of the area and our realization that Marib in fact lies on the border of the desert.
