바블예멘(Bab AI-Yemen)
'예멘의 문'이라는 의미를 갖고 있는 싸나의 전통시장. Old Sana’a was encircled by rampart (Sor) dating back to the first century but it grew with the expansion of the city to include the new quarters. The rampart was in the shape of an 8, and used to have six gates, four of which were used for the old city. These gates were closed each night at 8.00 o’clock and were opened before the dawn prayer at 4.00 am. Today only the southern gate (Bab Al-Yemen) has survived. Many parts of the rampart together with its towers have collapsed but still some parts exist. Particularly the eastern and the southern part adjacent to Bab AI-Yemen(sources: http://www.aytta.org/sanaa.htm).
