Yemen's Sana’a

The city of Sana’a in Yemen is one of the oldest cities on the planet. Some of the buildings boast architecture that is truly thousands of years old., Not many places can say they still have their originals, but this is a very special place. Sana’a was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, and we certainly want to visit. That plan may be impossible, though. The city has become incredibly dangerous for a number of reasons.

Years of conflict with nearby Saudi Arabia and tons of local attacks have proved to be quite explosive. Tourists have been warned to stay away, and it's not clear how long that will last. We hope the ancient wonders will still be standing, in the end!
