Helpfulness
You will see the wheelbarrows full of the fruit of the prickly pear cactus just about everywhere. Piled high with ripe fruit, just wait a minute if it seems unattended. Someone will suddenly appear to sell you a handfull. They have a lot of seeds, but are sweet and easy to eat. You may need a knife or just ask them to cut them open for you.
What to pay: Just a few pennies for a handfull.

A pleasant sight while strolling around the Old City souq was the animal market. Or to be more precise, the donkey market. Numerous donkeys were on sale there and considering the number of the people there must have been a great interest in buying one.
Unfortunately I didn't ask the price to buy one as it was a large souvernir to bring back home!! Though very useful for me while I live in a place where cars are not allowed and quadrupeds rule!

Not only highly photogenic because it's colourful, spices section of the market is pleasure to all senses. You can try some and buy to flavor when cooking dishes back at home

A: Are you going on business or just for an ordinary visit? I would consult the foreign office of your country for advice. Or the embassy in Sana'a, if there is one.
