Dar al-Hajar, the Rock Palace

Roasted on a rock apex at the celebrated WadiDhahr Valley, around 15 km far from the capital city of Sana, Yemen, is Dar al-Hajar, also called the Imam’s Rock Palace. It is a notable image of Yemen, whose picture you can discover on postcards and magazines to bills and water jugs.

What makes the building so appealing is maybe because it is excellent of Yemeni construction modeling. It appears to develop out of the rocks on which it is developed, and it has the trademark painting of its windows and edges. Moreover, it stands in solitude in a desert spring of green and calm, which is the wadi.

Once upon a time, Yemen didn’t have a ruler or president. Rather, initiative of the nation rested on the shoulders of an Imam (Islamic otherworldly pioneer). Yahya Muhammad Hamiddin (1869-1948) got to be Imam of the Zaydis (an Islamic religious faction) after his father’s demise in 1904, and then Imam of Yemen in 1918 and stayed in that post until his death in 1948. The castle was inherent the 1930s by Imam Yahya as his mid-year home. The castle was restored for guests, yet and transformed into a display center of a sort.

It is a fact that we have to deal with a breathtaking building. It provides a very lovely and an incredible view. Many people have for sure enjoyed that amazing place.

You can purchase a ticket and addition door to the castle. The five-story constructing as bunches of rooms and a lot of people of all shapes and sizes stairs that appears to take all of you around in rings. There is the kitchen, storage spaces, spaces for ladies, gathering areas for high put persons and companions of Imam Yahya. There is a framework to fresh water in earthenware containers; you can see takhrim windows from up close, there is a profound well, and there are different spots where you can go outside.

The five stories offer enough to see, however to stroll around at its base is similarly unusual and uplifts your appreciation for the dazzling structural planning the Yemenis are prepared to do.
