In the middle of a fertile agricultural valley about 14 km northwest of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, the palace rises in the sky, and is considered one of the unique wonders of Yemeni architecture. Yemenis call the historic palace, which was built on a huge mountain rock 34 meters above the ground, the name "Dar Al-Hajar", in relation to the granite stone on which it is built, and according to my multiple visits to it. According to local historians dating back to the 18th century, the palace, which has been rebuilt in its present form, overlooks Wadi al-Dhahr, one of the most famous and fertile valleys in the countryside of Sanaa. The palace, with its unique architectural design, coordinates its seven roles with the natural composition of the rock on which it stands, as it appears from the outside as a wonderful piece of art, genius. In fact, it is the Palace of Wonders. ”He pointed out that Al-Ajeeb starts from his external gate with a tree“ Al-Talaqa ”, which is estimated to be about 700 years old. inside Dr. Muhammad Al-Arousi, Professor of Archeology and Islamic Architecture at Sana'a University, stressed that "Dar Al-Hajar was originally a very old building, dating back to before Islam, but the current construction dates back to the era of Imam Yahya Hamid al-Din (1904-1948). The entrance to the house runs through a wide corridor paved with huge stones that connect to the corridors (a large room where the imam used to receive people) on the north side, overlooking a circular water basin built of black stone. "The palace is built in an authentic Yemeni architectural style," said Dr. Al-Arousi. "Inside, there are family and reception rooms for men and women, bedrooms and wall cabinets for storing clothes, jewelry and valuables." There are also graves, landfills, a drinking water cooling system, and wells dug into rocks built to a depth of tens of meters. Dr. Al-Arousi stated that there were judicial halls and trials under the palace building that served as the seat of Imam Yahya Hamid al-Din, founder of the Mutawakkil Kingdom of Yemen (1918-1962 AD). Unique In front of a very long rectangular reception room, overlooking the Chazrawan (large water fountains), where some visitors were busy taking pictures of themselves and their families, while some seemed interested in listening to the tour guide's talk about the contents of the palace and the functions of its various rooms. disturbance Until the beginning of the year 2011, Dar Al-Hajar was one of the most important tourist destinations in Yemen, but the turmoil in the country in recent years has negatively affected the tourism sector in general. The number of visitors to the palace is currently estimated between 70 to 100 visitors daily, and the number will rise on Friday to between 300 and 400 visitors, most of them from the capital, Sanaa and the surrounding areas, according to my information (a Yemeni local guide). Since 2011, foreign tourists who used to visit this palace have disappeared and rarely find a foreign tourist. As the residents of Wadi Dhahr say: "Tourism in Dar Al-Hajar was providing us with good job opportunities. I hope the situation will stabilize and foreign tourists will return to Yemen."...

Yemen’s Dar al-Hajar – or ‘stone house’ is a rock column behold one of the world’s most spectacular constructions. The former royal residence grows out of the rock pinnacle upon which it’s perched. The Dar al-Hajar or “Rock Palace” is located in Wadi Dhar, around 15 km (9 miles) from the capital city of Sana, Yemen. It seems to grow out of the rocks on which it is constructed and it has the characteristic painting of its windows and edges. Yemen’s architecture Dar al-Hajar palace, built atop a tall natural rock spire is nevertheless fantastical. The five-storey building looks incredible from every angle. So, it won’t be surprised to see Dar al-Hajar on a Yemeni currency note (the 500 rials one). In the 1920’s Islamic spiritual leader named Yahya Muhammad Hamiddin (ruler of Yemen from 1904 to 1948) stayed here as a summer residence. This place didn’t leave good memories for Imam Muhammad Yahya as his grandson assassinated him during a coup in Yemen in 1948. Nevertheless, the palace did remain in the ownership of the Yemeni royal family until the Yemen 1962. However, Islamic scholar Imam Mansoor Ali Bin Mehdi Abbas constructed atop the structure on the rock column. This beautiful building has multiple facilities of kitchen, storage area, guest rooms, and sedate courtyard leading through the five-story structure. The main feature of this building is to look like a fortress with shooting emplacements to defend the place from attackers. Therefore, it’s indeed easy on the eye, though designed to withstand attack and its own water supply from deep below the rock’, meaning it could ‘easily have withstood a siege’. Now it’s a popular example of Yemeni architecture for tourists, who can see the rooms and explore the labyrinth of staircases. Now Dar al-Hajar has a museum, and tourists who paid a visit to the palace have sung its praises on the internet. It’s a fantastic place and one of the best things you will see in Yemen. You will have a wonderful experience to see this old Yemeni palace and understand more about the local life and culture.’ It is nothing like you have ever seen before to pay a must-visit and relish the exquisite view. The majestic five floors offer enough to relish, but walking around at its base is equally impressive and heightens your admiration.

One of the best places I visited in Yemen.

Very uniquely built when giving the knowledge that the main materials where cement, rock, and wood alongside the knowledge to keep it firm on the giant rock without cracking it.

The Middle-Eastern-styled palace as it stands today was actually built relatively recently, in the 1930s by an Islamic spiritual leader named Yahya Muhammad Hamiddin, but it seems that he was building atop a preexisting structure that was built in the 1700s by an Islamic scholar. The tall castle was intended to be the leader’s summer home, and featured a number of facilities including appointment rooms for his highly appointed guests and separate spaces for cooling water in earthen jars. The rooms are built up the side of a tall rock spire, culminating in a grand tower at its pinnacle. The Imam Yahya was assassinated in 1948, but his iconic palace still stands and it has become a popular example of Yemeni architecture. While it is no longer used as a royal residence, the palace has been refitted as a museum and can be toured for a fee. Visitors can range about through the kitchens, storage rooms, and appointment rooms connected by a small labyrinth of stairways leading through the five-story structure. But as impressive as it is to explore inside, it is the view from the exterior that really makes the palace one of a kind. Combined with the natural rock on which it is built, it truly looks like a monumental work straight out of a fantasy novel.

A historical place from the ancient Yemeni heritage... It was the home of Imam Yahya💙.

The imam also built a mosque adjacent to the house and wrote on its door, “He built it for God who trusts in God” and is present until now (Original) يعود تاريخ بناء القصر إلى أواخر القرن الثامن عشر الميلادي حين أمر ملك اليمن الإمام المنصور علي بن العباس وزيره علي بن صالح العماري (1736-1798) والذي اشتهر بالهندسة المعمارية والفلك، والشعر والأدب - أمره ببناء قصر في وادي ظهر ليكون قصراً صيفياً له. ويروي المؤرخون انه بني على أنقاض قصر سبئي قديم كان يعرف بحصن ذي سيدان الذي بناه الحميريون عام 3000 ق.م، ودمر الحصن على يد الأتراك قبل أربعمائة عام، وأُعيد ترميمه في بداية القرن العشرين على يد الإمام يحيى حميد الدين بعد أن توارثه عدد من الملوك اليمنيين. ويعد حالياً معلماً سياحياً يقصده الآلاف من أنحاء العالم..[2] كان البناء على طريقته الأولية لسنوات، حتى قام الإمام يحيى بن حميد الدين بإضافة الطابق الأعلى (المفرج).<[1] تتفاوت الروايات المرتبطة ببداية التأسيس والبنيان لدار الحجر وتشير بعض الحكايات أن الدار كان قد تعرض للهدم عشرات المرات إلا أنه كان يتم إعادة بنائه مرة أخرى. يقال أن الأتراك في الغزو الأول لليمن فضلوا أن يسكنوا في هذا الدار لفنه المعماري المتفرد به عن غيره والوادي الذي يشكل مع بقية المواقع والمناظر المحاطة به كحديقة وبستان لسكان وزوار هذا القصر التاريخي نتيجة لما تمتاز به هذه الأماكن الجميلة من الخضرة المستديمة بحيث اشتهر الوادي بزراعة العنب والفرسك والسفرجل بالإضافة إلى أشجار الدوم العملاقة والتي بدأت تتلاشى نتيجة التوسع في زراعة القات. كذلك يقال أن البلاد في فترة حكم الأتراك شهدت أمطار غزيرة أدت إلى تهدم الدار ولم يبق له أي أثر، بعد ذلك أتى إلى المنطقة الإمام عبد الله المنصور الذي أعاد بناء الثلاثة الأدوار بحجر حبش أسود وهو الموجود حالياً، ومن ثم سكن فيه وبعد موت الإمام عبد الله المنصور الإمام الناصر ويقال أنه في عهده قامت بعض الحروب والخلافات بينه وبين أهل همدان والذين قاموا بقتله وهو نائم على فراشه وأخذوه ودفنوه هو والحراسة التي كانت معه في منطقة تقع جنوب وادي ظهر ويقول أبناء المنطقة أن قبره موجود إلى الآن ومعروف لدى الجميع. بعد موت الإمام الناصر كان الأئمة يتخوفون من سكن هذا الدار حتى أن الإمام يحيى بنى بعض القصور الأخرى في الوادي ولكن سرعان ما غير رأيه بعد فترة وقام بترميم دار الحجر وبناء بعض الأدوار الإضافية من مادة الياجور وقام بإضافة بعض المرافق الأخرى مثل المفرج الذي كان يستقبل فيه الناس. كما قام الإمام ببناء جامع مجاور للدار وكتب على بابه "بناه لله المتوكل على الله" وهو موجود إلى الآن

(Translated by Google) The famous one, which appeared at the beginning of the fourth century AD, is the king who is actually credited with building the palace of "Dar Al-Hajar" for the first time. Al Hir indicates during his interview with "The Independent Arabia" that the king, "Arim Malchan Dhu Yazan, had transferred the capital of his kingdom from Dhofar Dhu Raydan in central Yemen to Sanaa." According to Al Hir, this opinion is reinforced by references to "calling the palace" The Raydan ", and this name was given to it by way of the time, and it is an old Yemeni custom, that they wish to name the new areas in which they settled with the names of the areas from which they moved. He added, "An important part of those references was mentioned in the eighth part of the Book of Al-Ekleel by Al-Hamdani, which concerned the ancient palaces of Yemen, including the palace of Dar Al-Hajar. And it is more likely regarding the date of the construction of the House of Stone for the first time. (Original) الشهيرة، التي ظهرت في بداية القرن الرابع الميلادي، وهو الملك الذي يُنسب إليه فعلاً بناء قصر "دار الحجر" للمرة الأولى. ويشير آل هير خلال حديثه لـ"اندبندنت عربية" إلى أن الملك "أريم ملشان ذو يزن كان قد نقل عاصمة مملكته من ظفار ذو ريدان في وسط اليمن إلى صنعاء". ويتعزز هذا الرأي، بحسب آل هير، بوجود إشارات إلى "تسمية القصر بـ"ذي ريدان"، وهذه التسمية أطلقت عليه على سبيل التيمن، وهي عادة يمنية قديمة، أن يتيمنوا بتسمية المناطق الجديدة التي استقروا فيها بأسماء المناطق التي انتقلوا منها". وأضاف، "جزء مهم من تلك الإشارات ورد في الجزء الثامن من كتاب الإكليل للهمداني، الذي عني بقصور اليمن القديمة، وكان منها قصر دار الحجر، وقد أشار الهمداني إلى أنه كان يطلق على القصر "ذو سيدان"، ولعل هذا تصحيف لـ "ذو ريدان"، وهو الأرجح بشأن تاريخ بناء دار الحجر لأول مرة".
