The Shahara Bridge

Shahara Bridge is one of the greatest historical engineering feats in Yemen

this bridge was built in the 16th century and served the purpose of connecting the village of Shahara to that of Shaharat Al-Fays across a gorge of 300 meters deep, so people could at that time move easily from town to another. A rumor was common that the bridge was built to fight the Turkish invaders, in connection with legend that the bridge could be removed when danger loomed, but recognized sources did not mention anything of that. It designed and built by Salah Al-Yemen at the orders of Al-Asta Saleh Al-Suaidi, its construction cost more than a 100,000 silver rials.

                          

the bridge is used by the locals on a daily basis, and is widely regarded an architectural masterpiece. It also attracts visitors from around the world, but the area is inhospitable and not easily accessible. Shaharah and Shaharat Al-Fays are only accessible by car, which must either be personally owned or a rental. Safety measures do no allow visitors to take a taxi, unless accompanied by an official tour guide.
