Stunning trip report DanielW! I loved your pictures and how you focused on the true essence of a country: the people. Thanks to your report I discovered how beautiful a country I didn't know very much but for bad news is. Thanks for sharing.

Super pix! You really have some wonderful portraits in there. I do enjoy seeing everyday life - the shops and workshops, kids, shoppers, meals in what are clearly not tourist restaurants. Very well done and much appreciated!

Overrepresentation of an extremist minority by/in the Western media. Everyone was very friendly and surprised to see tourists.

That we are those open minded persons who go experience the place without prejudice.
That being said...I absolutely used my Irish and not my US passport. And I was there during the first week of October and, other than being dusty and dry, temperature was perfect, both in Sanaa and in the mountains. |
Great photos of a fascinating and un-reported place
