Diplomats Speak Out - Yemen: Astounding Country and Hospitable People
Climb the stairs to one of the many rooftops of old Sana’a, just before sunset, and you will find the city sprawling under your eyes, its characteristic brown and white buildings, the noise and activity of the central sour, the powerful mountains surrounding Sana’a towering in the distance. And just as you abandon yourself to the feeling of having gone back in time, the call to prayers raises from one minaret nearby, followed by another in the distance, and yet another one still closer, the messages overpowering are another and echoing from the mountains with the specially crisp sound carried by the rarefied air of Sana’a over 2000 meters elevation. As your eyes adjust to the overcoming darkness, you also spot, on some nearby rooftops that unmistakable sign of encroaching modernity: the satellite dish.
