The Secret Cities of Yemen
Posted by Danger on January 23rd, 2010 filed in Something or Other
Yemen has been in the news a great deal recently – because of its supposed links with the training of terrorists. Yet little attention has been paid to the country itself – particularly its rich and surprising architectural heritage.
So little known outside the country this remarkable architecture has survived hundreds of years.
Take a look at the secret cities of Yemen.

Heard being muttered by friends right before they hear a distant fleshy thump; “Hey, has anyone seen the toilet in this joint? Oh maybe it’s over here by the window?”
