www.yementimes.com As'ad Al-Kamil Tourist Festival, which provided an exhibition for tourist attractions; archeological sites and traditions of the governorate, was held in Dhamar at the end of July. The Vice-President of the Local Council in the Governorate Mujahid Shaif Al-Ansi told the Yemen Times, in an interview, that this festival is the first of its kind in Yemen in general and in Dhamar in particular.
Alansi points out that many tourist sites in different districts of the governorate attended the festival.
In a response to Yemen Times’ question about the visits that are going to be paid to such places and whether they include all the districts of the governorate, Alansi declared: “ in fact, we have remote districts that cannot be reached like Wesab Alali, Wesab Al-Savel, and Ottoma because of the lack of constant transportation means and the unpaved roads.” “So, we just sent a team of Media from the information office to visit the archeological and tourist sites in these districts and capture photos, which are going to be projected and shown in the inauguration of the festival.” He added.
Moreover, he pointed out that the Festival is the first of its kind in Yemen. He added that a long time was spent for its preparation. “We expected the arrival of a large number of Yemeni, Arab, and non-Arab visitors to participate in this festival as it has a historical expansion and archeological depth.
Worth-noting, the festival includes youth carnivals and some sport competitions like horse competitions. In addition, there is a lottery in which several prizes will be withdrawn for attendants.
The Manager General of Archeology in the Governorate Mr. Ali DhaifAllah Al-Sanabani explained, for the Yemen Times, the relationship between the title of the Festival and what it shows, saying “ this title has taken from a historical figure, King As'ad Al-Kamil, who is considered one of the most famous kings of the Hymyarite Civilization.”
“The title has a geographical depth in Dhamar, in addition to the historical indicators which reflect that the king, Al-Kamil, had Bainoon, in Dhamar as a capital beside his capital Dhafar in Yarim. Therefore, with no doubt this title has a strong relation with Dhamar,” he explained.
