Really great article. Thanks

Beautiful photos. But— where are the women? Warehoused behind walls I presume. Depressing…

Beautiful land and yet… near the middle of the page is the one reminder as to why I will never embrace the culture of Muslims. The standard opression of women still exist. Kides and men are able to be open and free, but women must cover up and be hidden. Always. Hijab required or be shunned. Correct colors (not ones reserved for the ultra special creature known as MEN) also required or be shunned. There are no freedoms here, just ignorant men wanting to be in control of others.
So sad… so sad.

It will be so nice to walk together with my wife, holding hands… wait, then we get arrested.

Architectural beauty from the past won’t protect westerners from modern bias.

I’m ready to go there. They aren’t ready for modern society to visit them. I’ll wait a while before I go… with my wife… who will not cover her head.

I think the Queen of Sheba has been traced to ancient Yemen, as well, but it’s been down hill for women since then. I cannnot imagine visiting a country in which the dominant religion is so restrictive of women’s freedom. The architecture is unquestionably fantastic, though, creating towns and cities that appear not of this world. But I will have to forego this journey.

Nice post, but would disagree with you on
“four hundred years when European architects were still struggling to construct buildings with more than two storeys.”

Four hundred years ago the European were struggling to build cathedrals with far more than 2 storeys.

It’s so amazing places!

Very impressive! I’m going to recommend we use a neutron bomb to take them out so we can move in later and turn the entire country into a Hollywood type health spa. I think that would have a lot of potential. As it is the place is a total waste.

Who writes this Crap? what should have been a very interesting and informative article was fraught with misspellings and poor sentence structuring making some of the paragraphs difficult to follow. I finally just gave up!

Do the terms “Spell Checker” or “Sentence Structure Check” mean anything to the author? They should if you’re going to write on the web for others to read!

“Four hundred years ago european architects were struggling to build buildings over two stories tall.”
Really? Five hundred years after the construction of the Chartres Cathedral. 1,600 years after the construction of the Pantheon. 1,300 years after the construction of the Pont Du Gard aquaduct? Dude, Please.

Someone needs to call Orkin to get rid of the Muzzie infestation. Then the place would be a really nice tourist spot.

Regarding the “two stories” comments; a cathedral is a single-story building. There is one floor and one roof, however high.
The challenge here is to build multiple inhabitable floors within a building; and to make it affordable, not something that only a Church or State (or church-state) could commission.

Nice architecture but the people are what make the country and 99% of all the Yemen need to be irradicated. The Muslim world exists only to destroy western man and culture. They freely admit it. Maybe in another lifetime they will have evolved up to a plane of existence closer to human beings. But for now….NUKE them…all of them along with most of the mieddle east!!! Turn it into the largest open oil field on the globe. Then and only then we will have peace!

You explanation is excellent and clear. I was impressed with this post and am looking forward to reading more from you ….

Bookmarked this.. Thanks for sharing…

Awesome! great pics! knowledgeable post!

There is definitely something breathtaking about the architecture in Yemen. Some of the ones built atop the rocks look like they could have been carved from them.

Great stuff

Beautiful article. Love the buildings.

Great post. I like the pictures. They are very good.

This piece goes down like a sip of fine scotch. Woven into the delightful prose are wondrous optics probably not seen by Americans too often.

What an informative article with amazing pictures.

Wow, Yemen!!! Grrrrrreatt post, RJ!

Fantastic photographs and a positive spin on a country that few in the West know anything about.

Lovely architecture, the terrain reminds me of Iran. That is another part of the world which is not considered for tourism. But beautiful nevertheless.
