Descripción del sitio
In this area is the famous Suq (market) in Sana'a. Literally means "The Salt Market" even though salt is not among it's large commodities. The suq used to have a central samsara (a place where money and expensive items are stored) but ever since the Imam Ahmad let Zaydi tribesmen sack and loot Sana'a in 1948 (and thereby taking revenge on the people of Sana'a for not coming to his aid when an attempt was made on his life) there are now 40 separate sub-suqs- each with their own samsara.
