Now, as anyone who has traveled with me can testify, I have a faulty if not outright laughable sense of direction. Normally, if I say right, then your best bet is left - and a sharp left at that. So you can imagine the challenge that a place like the old city of San'a would provide. Again, that is one of the reasons why I had chosen the Burj Al Salam Hotel in the first place, figuring that since it was the tallest building in the old city I would be able to spot it. Of course, there are so many tall buildings that close in around you that my plan went out the window in a hurry. At one point I spotted a very distinctive door and knew with complete certainty that a simple right turn would lead me back to my hotel. The rest was utterly predictable.
