In-Depth Information
Until recently, the
Al-Ba'aha quarter
was inhabited by Jews. Above this is the old
Muslim
quarter
, with its huge entrance gate. Look out for the painstakingly constructed
terraces
,
which permit the villagers to eke out an impossible living from the very steep slopes of
the mountain.
Like Manakhah, Al-Hajjarah is an excellent trekking base and as tourism picks up it's
again hoped that trekking will recommence here.
Sleeping & Eating
Al-Hajjarah's only hotel, the excellent
Husn al-Hajjara Tourism Hotel & Restaurant
was closed at
the time of research. It is likely to re-open as tourism picks up again.
