EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the architectural wonders of Hodeidah, Yemen's fourth largest city, come to life. The image captures the unique blend of Islamic and Ottoman influences that have shaped the city's distinctive buildings. Hodeidah, located on the western coast of Yemen, flourished as the leading port of the Ottoman Empire when the coffee trade at Mukha declined. The city's rich history is evident in its Old Turkish Quarter, which is depicted in the photograph. The houses in the Old Turkish Quarter of Hodeidah showcase intriguing architectural styles that reflect the city's diverse history. The most notable of these styles are the cumbas and jumbas. Cumbas are traditional Yemeni houses with flat roofs and high, narrow windows, while jumbas are larger, more elaborate structures with multiple stories and ornate decorative elements. The Ottoman influence on Hodeidah's architecture is evident in the cumbas, which feature Ottoman-style arches and domes. These architectural elements add to the visual appeal of the city and help to transport viewers back in time to an era of rich cultural exchange and trade. Despite the challenges and hardships that Yemen has faced in recent years, the architectural wonders of Hodeidah continue to stand as a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting viewers to explore the fascinating story of this ancient port city and the unique architectural styles that define it.
