The best accommodations Shibam

This hotel, located in a large green park, resembles a small white palace. All rooms are very clean, ventilated and air conditioned. Health care is summarized but functional. The place has lost its elegance but remains pleasant. The double rooms ($ 40) are all at the same price and prefer those with a balcony overlooking the garden. The triple are $ 50. The hotel's restaurant, in its entirety, is sober, to the image of its food (500 rials the dish). The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The original structure of this magnificent Thousand and One Nights Palace dates back to 150 years and is certainly in endless daydreams. It is located in an oasis and consists of four buildings, each decorated in one of the local styles of the Hadramawt region (Seyoun, Tarim, Shibam and Al-Hawta). The hotel is surrounded by a wall wall as if it were a medieval village. Each of its rooms is elegantly decorated with traditional, old and authentic Yemeni objects. You can admire authentic locks or lintels of carved wood, chests or other furniture from another age. A little more and we really think of sultanes and heady fragrances. All the rest of the country is quiet and enchanting, and it is the most elegant place in the country. Room amenities are impeccable (air-conditioning, fan, mini bar, satellite TV with French and Italian channels). Conferences can be organized. A space is reserved for children and there is Internet. The restaurant, composed of two parts, is large and offers all over the palace. The food is excellent when ordering à la carte, with the buffet more than any other.
