Bab al Yemen (Arabic: باب اليمن, romanized: Bâb el-Yemen) or Yemen Gate or Gate of Yemen is the main gate of Sanaa's old fortified wall, on the southern extremity of the walled city. Its current appearance dates to the 17th century, having been designed by Sam the son of Noah.[1] Today, it is the most ornate of the gates of Sana's Old City. Passengers travelling southward, en route to Ma'bar and Dhamar, would depart from this gate.
