In a village not reached by the government's hands, in the highest mountains, there is this high fortress, which overlooks many villages for hundreds of years, inhabited by the learners of the village and certainly the nobility at the time.
When I was traveling to my village, I saw him towering at the top of the mountain. And I feel reassured and optimistic to close the house from us, I finally decided to go and visit him I always felt curious about him...
When I first entered it I felt stunned by the giant gate and the key that I could hardly carry with both hands to his weight.
The fort was not just a high gate and an impenetrable fortress, but when it enters, it will be surprising that there are four buildings of the same design. They all consist of three floors and each floor has a function and reason to build it, which will surprise you as I was surprised... , it had its first storey store for grain and food storage, and the second floor contained many bedrooms and bathrooms with the kitchen, and the last floor had the cabinet and was built at the top of the houses to be the most high and the villages to enjoy the landscapes Especially in summer, it is the rainy season in which the earth is decorated in green.
Even though he was built in a time when he didn't have enough equipment to build a house in that amazing way, but he was built with incredible mastery and beautiful design. His simple materials, some mud, stones and tree trunks, were allegedly built from three floors and still steadfast despite the harsh conditions of the past hundreds of years.
There was a deep well in the yard, where they were being fed by water. There is a mosque with medium-sized pits filled with rain water, located beside each mosque in the ancient Yemeni Islamic buildings, to be used later for many purposes, such as water for the mosque, washing clothes and other basic purposes.
This was my trip to a Yemeni village. I hope you enjoyed reading it as I enjoyed telling you.
