The UNESCO-listed Old City of Sana'a is a breathtaking labyrinth of multi-story gingerbread-tower houses adorned with intricate white gypsum filigree, some dating back over 2,500 years. Wander through the vibrant Souk al-Milh, where the scent of spices and frankincense fills the air, and marvel at the Great Mosque, one of the oldest in the Islamic world. Beyond the capital, the province reveals dramatic highland landscapes, including the fertile Wadi Dhar, home to the iconic Dar al-Hajar rock palace. The region is a living museum of Yemeni culture, where traditional dress, qat gatherings, and ancient architectural techniques persist. While travel here requires careful planning due to current conditions, for the intrepid explorer, San`a' offers a profound connection to Arabia's deepest historical and cultural roots.","Right","Type A, D, G; 230V, 50Hz",[19,22,25,27],{"key":20,"value":21},"Police","194",{"key":23,"value":24},"Ambulance","191",{"key":26,"value":24},"Fire",{"key":28,"value":29},"Tourist Police","",[31,34,37,40,43],{"key":32,"value":33},"Is it safe to travel to San`a' now?","No. Most foreign governments advise against all travel to Yemen due to ongoing war, terrorism, and kidnapping risks.
