	Saudi Aramco World : Manhattan in the Hadramaut
		From Aden, the Hadramaut is about an hour's flight over vast tablelands of reddish brown limestone where flat-topped mountains stretch out like long wings, where the wadis cut deep horizontal lines into the earth and where narrow camel paths wind through unruffled, unchanging expanses.
		From the air it's a vast fortified trapezium running some 250 meters north to south (820 feet) and 380 meters east to west (1,245 feet), with the tall facades of contiguous houses forming a wall 20 to 25 meters high (65 to 82 feet).
		As we inspected the Hadramaut, en route to Tarim some 48 kilometers (30 miles) east, we traveled through wheat fields, through groves of date palms - with some 700,000 trees - and through tracts of land that, in accommodating camels, goats and sheep, typify the agricultural and pastoral traditions of this valley.

		From Marib, one can reach the Hadramaut valley through the desert, crossing waves of dunes, following the old incense road to Shabwa, the ancient capital of the Hadramaut kingdom.
		Hadramaut seems like a miracle, an oasis-like valley 120kms long, lost between immensity of the desert and aridity of the plateau.
		Hadramaut can be reached by plane from Sana’a or Aden, or by paved road from Aden.

		The event, organized by Dr. Ulrike Freitag and Dr. William Gervase Clarence-Smith of the Centre of Near and Middle Eastern Studies at SOAS, was sponsored by the European Science Foundation, with assistance from the British Academy, Inchcape PLC, and SOAS.
		Further study of Hadramaut and its emigrant communities is needed to identify the "social technologies" available in the "cultural tool-kits" (in Abdalla Bujra's terms) employed by Hadrami emigrants which enabled them to survive and thrive in different host communities, economies, and colonial environments.
		At the same time, further study of the emigrant communities and the social, economic, and political conditions surrounding them in the host community environment is needed to elucidate the differing courses of development which took place in different areas of the region.

		Hadramaut is bounded, on the west by Yemen, on the south-east by the ocean, on the north-east by Oman, and on the north by a great desart.
		A native of Hadramaut, with whom I had opportunities of conversing, described his country as the seat of science and religion.
		But the inhabitants of Hadramaut being averse to a maritime life, the trade from their sea ports is all carried on in foreign bottoms (M.)

		The enforced influx, along with the cessation of international aid that was another consequence, precipitated an economic crisis that is ongoing, and worsened further by the even stricter immigration policies adopted by many states in recent years as anti-terrorism measures.
		Hadramaut, therefore, has long depended on emigration, and suffers when it is inhibited.
		Yet the relationship between Hadramaut and the mahjar is typically framed as one of moral, rather than emotional, opposition.

		The Hadarim, or Arabs from Hadramaut, cherish a very strong sense of Arab identity, which seems to overlap considerably with Islamic identity.
		The harsh political and economic realities in Hadramaut and the Islamic notion of geography, which considered the world to be a universal unit without territorial frontiers, greatly facilitated the migration of the Hadrami Arabs.
		Meanwhile, Hadramaut became part of the new People's Republic of South Yemen in 1967, which was renamed the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1970, and became the first Arab state to espouse Marxism.

		The revolution and independence of South yemen (1967) hastened the Hadramaut’s decline.
		What they do not say, but imply, is that the restoration of Wadi Hadramaut’s glories may also bring pressure on the South Yemen government to open its doors to tourism.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Arabia
		The two most important kingdoms of ancient Arabia are that of the Mineans (the m'dbzm of the Old Testament) and that of the Sabeans, whence the Queen of Saba came to pay her homage of respect and admiration to King Solomon.
		Khosroes at first was unwilling to undertake so dangerous an enterprise, but afterwards, won over by the promises of Saif and the advice of his ministers, sent an army of 4,000 Persian soldiers, drawn from prisons, under the command of Wahriz and accompanied by Saif himself.
		The army advanced to Hadramaut, where it was joined by Saif's own adherents, 2,000 strong, and attacked Masrouq, who was defeated and slain in battle.

	The Raw Story \| Silent revolution in Arabia: Yemen's president hard-pressed By Anne-Beatrice Clasmann
		Their candidate, former oil minister Faisal bin Shamlan, comes from the province of Hadramaut and was already a member of the government in Aden before North and South Yemen reunified.
		Bin Shamlan has made the major theme of his election campaign the fight against corruption, and he is a credible anti-corruption candidate as he relinquished his ministerial post in 1994 in protest against bribery and the taking of personal advantages, a rare move by an Arab politician.
		Nobody gives any of the three other candidates a chance of winning the presidential election, so Saleh has been saving all his attacks for bin Shamlan, the white-haired challenger from the provinces, who at 72 is eight years older than Saleh.

	The Jewish Kingdoms of Arabia
		After the rise of Islam, these Jews and those of Yemen were allowed to survive on the payment of special taxes, but most of the Hejazi Jews were either expelled or annihilated.
		Henceforth, the Jewish settlement in Arabia was almost wholly concentrated in the Yemen, Hadramaut, and Aden.
		The former Jews of North Arabia in particular, though living in isolated communities, had become strongly assimilated to their Arab neighbors not only in language and culture but also in manners and customs, social organization, and mentality.

	Challenger Volume II, No.13
		The Wadi Hadramaut is a sometimes dry river valley (some 12 days long, on foot) running along the southern Arabian peninsula from the major mountain pass back into Yemen to the Dhofar, a range of hills that is the only barrier to the fertile coastal plains of Oman.
		To the north of the Hadramaut and to the north and west of Oman lies the Rub' al Khali, the deadly desert, the Empty Quarter, in which the Party believes lies the remains of the City of Brass.
		Reminded of the distance back up the Hadramaut to the last such inscription known to the Party, Penrington postulated that there might be a similar cave somewhere in the nearer Dhofar hills.

		It is a long and painful process, but in the end, they have in their hands the most prized honey in the world due to its extremely limited production and amazing flavors.

		He is buried in the eastern sector of Hadramaut in close proximity to Tareem.
		A narration reported by Hadrat Ali (Radiallahu anhu) states that his grave is in Hadramaut on a red hillock and there is a tree at his head side.
		From all the above narrations, the narration of Hadramaut is perhaps the correct one because the villages of Aad were in close proximity to Hadramaut.

	NOVA Online \| Lost Tribes of Israel \| Tudor Parfitt's Remarkable Journey
		Then there's the fact that within the area of the eastern Hadramaut [a valley in southern Yemen where Sena is located], so many of the tribes had precisely the same tribal names as did the Lemba—the Sadiki, the Hamisi, and so on.
		Once the analysis had been done, it seemed to show that there was something of an overlap, not specifically with Sena but with the general area of the Hadramaut.
		It looked entirely plausible that the Lemba Y chromosome and the Y chromosome that we collected in the Hadramaut area had similar features.

		The Party had traveled much of the length of that triangle when they cut North across the tip and over the bordering mountains, intending to follow the mountains down to the beginning of the Hadramaut Wadi (valley) into which the point of the Yemeni plain trickled.
		Now caught between camel riders coming behind from the west, Yemeni horsemen coming over the hills to the immediate south, a disgruntled djinn somewhere in the desert to the immediate north, and the unknown forces further east, the fugitives huddled, discussing their options.
		At dawn, the Party headed SE down the Hadramaut, tracing the trickle of water from Blake's spring.

		If you want to visit the Hadramaut too (recommended!), two weeks are necessary.
		A typical itinerary would include inland flight from Sanaa to Seyun, 1/2 day in Seyun, 1/2 in Shibam, a daytrip to the Wadi Idin with palm groves and oasises, finally a two-day trip through the Wadi Dauan (Duan) and the Jol plateau with stops along the way.
		As most travellers want to travel both to Sanaa and to the Hadramaut region, an inland flight is recommended to avoid the troublesome province of Marib, where kidnappings have happened.
