) wear watches, bags, hats, scarves, etc, as an accessory piece.It can be very pricey - depending on the quality of material used (gold, silver, ivory, etc,).
Some are passed down from generation to generation and some people have them made to match their personality/style.
Not sure of the other (current) uses.
Also, that was a fantastic trip report.

One use I was told is that it is worn as an accessory piece to clothing - the same way we (in the west or east ) wear watches, bags, hats, scarves, etc, as an accessory piece.

Awesome photos, Daniel ~ especially those of the Yemeni people. You've definitely got the eye. This has to be one of my favorite photo trip reports ever published here on FT - and that's without a single First Class meal shot! Thanks for this stellar effort!

. I got into photography before getting the travel bug, but both hobbies have now become quite complimentary:www.dsw-photo.com
I really enjoyed your report on your recent travels too, so many miles
! You'll have to buy a bigger camera though, less chance of leaving it on the plane.

Wow, this brings back some memories! I spend a month in Yemen some years back. It's truly a remarkable country, well worth the effort to visit. I only wish I had taken pictures as good as these...

JUST a Canon 5D Mark III??? No wonder you're getting such amazing shots! Of course you can have the best camera in the world but if you can't compose shots then it's no good, but your photographic skills are quite impressive!

Fabulous trip report. I love the pics of the people. I wonder what their life is like. What is their story.
Nice to read a report on a less frequented, by Flyertalk standards, destination

Just happened across your trip reports while searching for some info on Afghanistan. Really enjoyed your first and this one on Yemen, especially the photos. A little bittersweet, though, since I fear I won’t be able to visit Sana’a in my lifetime, or if in the future I can, it won’t look like anything like it did. In any case, I appreciate seeing it through your lens. Safe travels to all.
