Witches of Hadramout
ساحرات حضرموت
No, they are not witches, they are Hadramout girl shepherd.
لا إنهن لسن ساحرات ولكنهن راعيات غنم حضرميات.
Seeing them afar westerners call them Hadramout witches because of their resemblance, in the way they are dressed, to movie witches. But the truth is they are normal Hadramout women that wear huge - up to 50 centimeters tall - straw hats and cover their faces with "niqab" which is a sort of mask. Their eyes are heavily lined by kohl (eyeliner). Whatever the weather, they wear a black cloak - abaya mostly with a belt around their waist. In some of villages they wear sleeveless abayas and separately wear Richly adorned with embroidery sleeves. Their hands are usually painted with henna.
Hadramout in south Yemen, is famous for the "mud skyscrapers" - blocks of flats built of palm trunks and clay bricks. See the article"Astounding Desert Manhattan in Yemen"
وتقع حضرموت في جنوب اليمن وهي تشتهر بناطحات السحاب الطينية تلك الأبنية السكنية المبنية من جذوع النخيل والطوب الطيني. أنظر المقالة "منهاتن الصحراء المذهلة في اليمن".
