Favorite thing: Thila is a small fortified town with seven ancient gates not far from Sanaa (about 90 minutes drive) and worth a day trip for its superb architecture. It is a mountain town built at the foot of a steep, rocky outcrop. The houses are all old and the vast majority are tower houses built with stones taken from the mountain behind. A perfect blend.
Fondest memory: In Thila there is a fortress built right on the face of the mountain, several mosques and tombs, an old suq (with aggressive vendors), two water cisterns and parts of the original town walls. All very charming, very old and well-presernved (thanks to the UNESCO). The lanes are narrow, there are many donkeys (why are tey all white-ish?) and million of steps... going up, going down.
