Saana Old City Yemen

This photo of the Old City of Saana in Yemen was photographed from the terrace of a hotel that gave me the high angle view. A UNESCO world heritage site, the Old City of Saana boasts over 100 mosques with their high thin minarets, and has been continuously inhabited for over 2,500 years. The ancient buildings are precursors to high rises with three or more stories and constructed of stone and rammed earth.

Safe And Friendly

My experience at traveling in Yemen is that it was both safe and friendly. Keep in mind that we were with a knowledgeable guide and weren't "looking for trouble". But of the forty plus countries I have traveled in the people of Yemen are some of the friendliest and most welcoming I have ever encountered. Much of the time they were asking us, with no expectations or strings attached, to photograph them!

Photo Tour of Yemen And Socotra

I made this image while on a photo tour of Yemen and Socotra with Jeremy Woodhouse and Luka Esenko. I can't recommend them highly enough...it was a great trip and really did fit the definition of adventure travel. We all came back with plenty of memories, a ton of great photography, and a little more fitness under our belts as well! A great place and highly recommended for a unique vacation destination!
