Yemen Gate: A historical and tourist landmark over a thousand years old, it serves as the main entrance to the Old City of Sana’a from the south. It is the only remaining gate among four others that were known in the past as the entrances to the city, such as Shu’ub Gate and Strata Gate, along with two others added later, Khuzaymah Gate and Shuqraif Gate. Yemen Gate, with its architectural and unique engineering character, is part of the Old Sana’a wall, adorned from the south, stretching 6200 meters in length and 8 meters in height. It encircles the city in a winding manner, forming the shape of the number 8 in English. Historical narratives suggest that the Old Sana’a wall with its four gates, prominently Yemen Gate, was built during the rule of the Ya’furid state (439-532 Hijri), while other sources indicate it was constructed during the Tahirid state in the fifth and sixth centuries Hijri. The Ayyubid state’s sultans completed it after their control over Yemen in 569 Hijri. The exact reason for naming this gate Yemen Gate is not known, but it is likely because it is the southern gateway to the city, and what lies to the south was called “Yemen” by the ancients, as it is to the right of the Kaaba. However, researcher Fadel Al-Naqib suggests other reasons for this name, including that Yemenis from various regions gather at this famous gate, treating it as the gate of all Yemenis, while the other gates are more private and only welcome their residents. He adds that Yemen Gate might mean the gate of goodness and blessings. Standing for over a thousand years, Yemen Gate, with its architectural and engineering uniqueness, guards the ancient city. It welcomes thousands daily to the markets of Old Sana’a with its diverse streets, popular restaurants, traditional baths, and an atmosphere reminiscent of One Thousand and One Nights. It sits at the intersection of two important streets in the Yemeni capital: Ta’izz Street, which connects visitors to Ta’izz City, passing through Dhamar and Ibb, reaching Aden, and Zubairi Street, leading to Hodeidah City, extending to Al-Mukha and Bab Al-Mandab Gate, all the way to Aden. Therefore, Yemen Gate is the solid focal point for this Yemeni flow of people and production. The markets associated with Yemen Gate reflect manifestations of traditional Yemeni culture, including popular clothing and craft industries, such as swords, daggers, and popular jewelry crafted from silver, agate, and precious stones. The gate is not just massive wooden shutters on the city wall; it is a complete structure that includes rooms, corridors, and roofs. In the past, security guards used these spaces as residences and watchtowers. Today, these rooms have turned into an information center about the history of the old city, a permanent exhibition for visual arts. From its roof, tourists can view the city’s extensions and stand at its prominent landmarks.
