AlRawdha

Located nine kilometres north of Sana’a city, it is known for its outstanding vineyards. Many of the ‘great and good’ of San’aa live there especially during the summer season. It has about twenty monumental mosques with the Great Mosque regarded as being the center, distinguished (from the rest) by the fine artistic engravings on its minorette. It is dated from the 17th century and has been well recorded in history and literature as a place where writers and poets admired fresh air and its attractive vineyards.
