Lovely and cute .. best part of it is its simplicity.  We know a couple who went to Yemen on vacation about 5 years ago.  They went to see and took a quick look at Dar al Hajar, inside and outside. But couldn't hang on for long.  The only problem is transportation from Sanaa to Wadi-e-Dhar, a distance of 15 or 16 km.  You gotta contact a cab or tour company in Sanaa; they'll arrange for a cab to take you there and bring you back.  Then while you're looking around the beautiful landmark, the cab is waiting. So tourists can't linger on for long.

And you sure are right brother.  The contrast between modesty and glitz cannot go unnoticed when comparing a monument like this one with the residences of so many other dynasties of the past and present.  May the Ansarullah revolution of Yemen win and bring back egalitarian values to Yemen, freeing the country from the occupation of imperialists and their puppets.  Shame on Saudi Arabia for establishing an illegal coalition and bombing Yemen.  As if this conscienceless kingdom didn't have enough past sins already.
