Al Hajjarah

Al Hajjarah is an ancient city in Yemen with Jewish roots. The city sits fortress-like atop a mountain peak. Below the city are fields of Qat. We spent several hours here and I even purchased a Jambiya (ceremonial dagger worn by almost all Yemeni men) right off of one of the many friendly inhabitants. The village is located in the Manakah District in the Haraz Mountains. Hajjarah or Hajjara is an appropriate name as in Arabic it means "rock" and of course the homes are both made of, and built on, rock!

Adventure Travel and the Haraz Mountains

Yemen is a great place for adventure travelers and Al Hajjarah fits right in as a base camp for serious hikers there to experience the Haraz Mountain range and its many villages. I found Yemen to be safe for traveling though I highly recommend a good guide.
