Sanaa, the capital city of Yemen
- Sanaa, Yemen (1996)
- Sanaa, the capital city of Yemen, is located in a high altitude basin (2,300 meters) in the central mountainous region. It is a city gathering more than 1 million people (1998). In the foreground we see the walls of a samsara, an old warehouse and hotel (equivalent to khan or caravansery), partly ruined and located in the central suq district (Suq al Milh). Thin minarets and tall residential houses are remarkable in the urban landscape of the old town of Sanaa.
A new house of bricks under construction is visible. It shows the same shape but different materials; this construction could be surprising, Sanaa being a UNESCO World Heritage City.
