Wadi Dawan is a side wadi of Wadi Hadramawt, and every bit as beautiful and worth visiting. Houses are made of mud and often painted and it is a good entry to the more famous Wadi Hadramawt.
The views were spectacular all the way, one village more beautiful than the other, and all in their own way. Some perched against the vertical walls of the wadi, others draped down from mountains in the middle. This was certainly a photographers paradise, as so many other parts of Yemen, and consequently it was a true pleasure for the eye. We took a long pause in Al Hajjarayn, presumably a pre-Islamic settlement. Despite the heat, I decided to walk around the city, to the chagrin of the soldier who had to come with me. Inside, we were finally able to see up close the ingenuity of the mud houses, their amazingly decorated wooden doors, and the quietness of it all.
