Yemen is a very mountainous country. The
mountains are filled with beautiful small villages and farms. |
 |
|
 |
Many ancient houses and villages were built
on the crests of mountains to help protect them from attack. |
 |
A great deal of the country has been terraced
and is quite productive. |

Sometimes the view can be breathtaking.
Other times it can make you dizzy. At other times, it can be
somewhat dangerous if you are not good on your feet. |
 |
In the south of Yemen, many houses are
built of stone. In the north, most are built of mud. (See Sa'ada) |
 |
This mountain always reminded us of two
ancient elephants that met head to head. Neither one of them
would move aside for the other, and so they stood there until
they became mountains. |
