I was lucky enough to go there before the security situation deteriorated. The old walled city is a fantastic historic architectural gem - the people warm and friendly (well the kids and men are - I wasn't permitted to see or speak to a woman).

Very cool, I like your eye on this city and its features!
How can a woman be refused to see other women???
My picks would be 2, and 3! Thanks for the pleasure. ;-)
 
Fascinated by 3rd & last, showing the architecture! :)
 
Wonderful to see these and tragic what is happening there now.
 
some excellent shots, thanks for sharing this set
 
Lovely set of images, I particularly like No1, which gives a good impression on the type of architecture in Sana. From what I've read it's a fascinating country, but it's horrendous what's happening there now......very sad.
