Al Mukalla
Al Mukalla is in the Yemeni Highlands and eastern Yemen's biggest city, the gateway to the historical Hadhramaut region. A bustling port, it is well developed by Yemeni standards, with good roads and a reasonably smart waterfront.
The old town is open for tourists. Sights include the royal palace of the sultan. Guard towers that were outposts surmount the vicinity of the old town. Nearby are Hadhramaut Mountains, such as that of Husn Ghuraf.
- Al-Ghwayzi Fort at the base of the Hadhramaut Mountains
- Al-Mukalla estuary at night
- Mae'en sultan's palace, now a museum
Mukalla is situated not far from "Cane" or "Qana'", the ancient principal Hadrami trading post between India and Africa, with incense producing areas in its hinterland.
