Once serving as a fortress against unwanted invaders and to control access to Wadi Hadramawt, all that remains of Husn al Urr are ruins and the strategical location.
When we arrived at the fortress, we had to cross a stretch of sand before we reached the fortress. Being towards one of the extremes of the wadi, this was one of the fortresses to protect the area from invaders. Now in ruins, it was important in many centuries ago. After walking around it and having greeted the dromedaries roaming the desert, the soldier asked me if I wanted to climb the fortress, and I understood from his tone that he was afraid for my positive answer. I told him he could stay below, but he wanted to join me after all. On top, we saw remains of walls, we saw the water cistern at the foot of the hill, but above all, we had a splendid view over the wadi.
