Qat is growing everywhere it is possible in Yemen, as it is a very valuable stuff: everybody chews it, so huge amount are needed everyday in the country. To protect the Qat from the sun, the people use those giant coloured sheets.
Qat (or Kat) is supposed to give energy.

They have mobile phone, but not running water
In many villages in Yemen, people have access to mobile network, even in the remote villages in the hills, but still have to drink the water from the ancient cisterns like on this picture.
So women and kids come to carry the wtaer to the houses everyday.
Those cisterns are also used as pools by kids, when adults are not around!

The Jambia is the traditional knife that every man has to wear in Yemen. Before, it was partly made with the horn of rhinoceros. When i came first in yemen when i was a kid, in the 70's, all the men carried also some guns or AK47! Nowadays, it is forbidden to carry them inside the towns.
