Hadramawt is on of the most traditional region in Yemen. Although women are dressed with long black suit in nearly all Yemen, in Hadramawt, as being a farming region, there are some differences.Firstly, they wear typical hat to be protected against the hot and sunlight. Sometimes, instead of wearing long black suits they wear other more coloured suits when farming.Be careful! As in others parts of Yemen, they usually don´t like you take pictures of them. Ask for permission or take it quickly, trying they don´t take attention to you, in other case, they could throw stones to you. But this is occurs rarely and only with the objective to frighten you.
