Since it was prayer time for my driver I did some exploring on my own thru some of the villages. Sorry that I don't recall the names of these places. Many of them make it easy to forget about time aside from the occasional TV dish on a roof.

Just driving around this giant oasis is a sight to be seen. I was like a kid in a candy store walking around here. Never knew what to what to expect. How could a place like this exist in the middle of Yemen??? Hope you like my pics.

Ok,
Shoot me, took poor notes here. The photos here and in my next few tips should give you a taste of what you are instore for as you enter the Hadramawt. I only spent about few hours driving thru a few of them plus a prayer pit stop for my driver. It was time well spent to say the least and thinking back it would have been nice to spend more time here.

Address: Wadi Hadramawt
The road into the wadi is not what you might expect. Thanks to the tourism in the wadi, roads have been inproved. I entered via the road from Huwayra if memeory serves me correctly. The road at the time has been recently paved and there was still work being done to improve it as it hugs the cliff side and heads down into the wadi. Nothing like the road to Shaharah but still a nice ride with lots of places for some great photos.

This whole place is sort of off the beaten path. This place kind of reminded me of the North. It was a bit cooler up here after lunch and ended up being the place I got to meet some local kids here. After talking to them I realized how much more aware of the world they were when compared to their American counterparts....the effects of satellite TV are far reaching.

Gateway to the Hadramawt (sort of)
Sif is one of many towns/villlages. This is also the area/ancestral home of America's most famous family the Bin Ladens. To me it was like the Grand Canyon with perks so to speak. Most of the...
Wadi Hadramawt and the Eastern Desert
I needed to share the cost of a vehicle to travel to the far west of the wadi, where public transport was rare. With amazing luck several travellers turned up one evening and I hurriedly went about......
The small town of Sif is the centre of the Wadi Doan. Many people from the village have gone off to work overseas, in places such as Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia, returning to their...
