This sleepy city of 90,792 people is a far cry from the bustling capital of Sana'a. The modernized road linking the two is a mere 52.9 kilometers, but the bureaucracy and infrastructure here are a persistent headache. Surrounded by stone walls dating back to 1720, 'Amran was once a strategic fortress, though it's now largely absent from historical records. The old souq and terraced landscapes offer glimpses of past glory, but this provincial backwater is unlikely to appeal to anyone seeking an exciting expat life.
