Tower houses made entirely of local stones make Thulla one more jewel in Yemen's crown. Walking to this town has its own merits.
Already outside one of the town gates, drinking a well deserved drink, I was harrassed by a guy who was actually the first in over two weeks to do so. It was not easy to get rid of him. Once inside, I found the town largely empty, probably because of the early afternoon hour of my visit. From below, it had been hard to make out the town, it was very well hidden from view because of its clever way of construction with local stone. In fact, the houses are all built with local stone. The houses are surprisingly beautiful, with attractive decorations in their friezes, all made of the same stone laid in patterns, and coloured glass.
