Introducing Sayun

Sayun has a distinguished history. From the earliest days, it was developed by the local Hadramawt clans and dynasties and since the 15th century has been the wadi’s capital. Today, despite being the heart and soul of Hadramawt, dusty Sayun is a town with a slow beat and lots of friendly people. For the traveller, Sayun offers a decent range of accommodation and a picturesque setting of adobe brick houses against a background of hills and palm trees. Aside from the palace/museum there is little to see as all the mosques and graveyards are closed to non-Muslims.
