Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Walking
Start your journey at the Al-Saleh Mosque, which is a well-known landmark in Sana'a. From the mosque, head west on Al-Mahwit Street. After about 1 kilometer, you will reach the intersection with Al-Jawf Street. Turn left onto Al-Jawf Street and continue straight for approximately 2 kilometers until you reach the Dar AlHajar area. The landmark will be visible on a hill, a little further from the main road.
Public Bus
Locate the nearest public bus station in Sana'a. Buses to Wadi Dhahr, where Dar AlHajar is located, frequently depart from central stations. Board a bus heading towards Wadi Dhahr, and inform the driver of your destination. Once you arrive in Wadi Dhahr, disembark at the stop closest to Dar AlHajar. From there, it's a short walk uphill to reach the site.
Bicycle Rental
If you prefer cycling, rent a bicycle from a local rental shop in Sana'a. Begin your ride from the center of the city, heading towards Al-Mahwit Street. Follow the same route as if you were walking, but enjoy the ride. The total distance is about 3 kilometers. Once you reach Wadi Dhahr, park your bicycle at a designated area and walk the remaining distance to the Dar AlHajar.
Use Dar AlHajar as your starting point for nearby food, family ideas, nightlife, and more local discoveries.
