Local history and culture Taizz

The track leading to the apex of the Jebel Saber (3 006 m) is road. The mountain is covered by cultures, in particular qat, and built from countless villages. Magnificent panoramic views of Ta and the rich modern villas of taizzi industrialists. A pleasant stop at the village's small café, at Samira, 200 m from the top. Samira will soon open a hostel. You must cross the village on foot to arrive at a nice point of view on Ta. A second hostel is also expected to be a day, which will make it easy to facilitate hiking in the region. The village's little girls sell «makramas», long cotton veils, very colourful, and offer women to adorn their hands with henna designs. At Mount Saber, a small mosque is built in memory of the Sufi Abd Al-Rahman. Behind the mosque is the cave which was, according to tradition, the place of sleep of the «Ahl Al Kahf». It would be the «seven dormants» referred to in the Qur'a by the Koran - seven young men and their dog who, fleeing the persecution of a tyrant, took refuge in a cave. God slept there for 309 years, and then rehearsed them: " To make sure that God's promise is true and that there is no doubt about the time. (Koran, XVIII, 21.)
