Family run Manakha Askari (Tourist) Hotel offers beds from 2500 rials incl breakfast and dinner. Extra You will have wonderful views of the mountains ans folklore shows in the evening. Most of their clients are groups of Westerners travelling in landcruisers.
Just after breakfast I and my local guide (sorry it is necessary: no maps or singns on the trail) we took moto to the starting point and then walked from village to the village till 4 pm. There were some steep paths on the route, but the panoramas and the fortified stone villages are worth the effort. It is hard to describe this unusual architecture of stone towers – I hope to show you pictures after return…
It is worth to start treking as early as possible because around 1 pm clouds are covering slowly the peaks and the light for picture is not so good…
In the evening Yemeni men (sorry – no local ladies!) gave us great show of the local music and dancing… A bit noisy for me but still interesting…
