Helpfulness
Zabid is very dusty. It is also a little windy and this combination is not good for the camera.
I loved this town, it was one of my favourite places in Yemen, but I found it left a fine layer of dust all over my camera which was very difficult to remove.
And you don't want to keep your camera in your bag as there are many great photos to take.
Plastic bags help a little and special camera covers.
Try not to walk around with your lense cap off - bad news for the camera!
