حراز
المكتوبة بألفباء الشوق
المرسومة بخطوط العشق
الرافئة ثقوب القلب
كهالة ضوء في مملكة الليل
ثمالة نور في أقبية التاريخ
وبقايا أنفاس من زمن الألفة
أغنية تتكثف كالغيم
وتمطر حزنا أخضر
وربيعا طفلا
أغنية تبدعها راعيةٌ
وهي تهيءُ ليلك عينيها
لخيوط الفجر
وتسقي قمح أنوثتها لحصاد قادم.

A town with the world's oldest "skyscrapers"

A town with the world's oldest "skyscrapers"

Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, is located to the southwest part of the Arabian Peninsula. Because the city's elevation is over 2,000 meters high, it receives a comparatively large amount of rain. Arabian culture originated in this area, which has flourished as a commercial city since the 10th century BC. The old city, situated to the east of the city center, retains the traditional appearance of medieval Arabic culture. The Great Mosque, minarets, caravanserais, bath-houses, old cityscapes, souks (markets), and Yemen gate are preserved there. High-rise housing made of adobe (sun-dried bricks) and basalt with white plaster is decorated with beautiful patterns and referred to as "the world's oldest skyscrapers."
