Thula has become a bit overbearing. It is beautiful and clean, but its population is starting to go the wrong way in their commercialization of the place. Slightly less picturesque, because it does not have the mountainside location, Hababah is worth a visiti nevertheless: it is full of old houses and its cistern with semi-circular round housing and the mosque is one of the prettiest sights in the region. But most of all, the local people are just welcoming you without any commercial motives.
The plateau beyond Hababah, now easily accessible over a tarmac road, offers breathtaking views.

Another great sight in Hababa is its gate... stunning and imposing. It is the entry point to the village, and it's passable (barely) by car. What really amazes me is that the gate has a distinctive medieval look... and left me wondering just how old it really is.
Beside the gate, I really appreciated the town walls connected with it - huge, massive, imposing and... very safe.

Hababa has its heart and soul in its wonderful water cistern, located right in the middle of the village, just past the gate. It's a perfect cistern, and a scenic one: the houses that surround it are reflected (very scenically) in its emerald waters. This peculiar colour comes from the seaweed present in the water.
The water contained in the cistern has many uses: for animals, for washing clothes, for irrigation and... i guess for swimming, too. For sure it looked very inviting.It's a nice spot to stop for unforgettable photos.
