A typical tower house in the old city of Seiyun stands tall, surrounded by narrow lanes and alleys that create a unique ambiance, both day and night. Many visitors arrive mid-afternoon, and a walking tour around the old city is often available in the early evening. Ideally, plan to explore the area the following morning to experience it fully in daylight.
Mosques:
One of the most striking traditional mud-brick mosques in the old city is the Ali bin Abdullah Saqqaf Mosque, located at the heart of the tower house area. This large mosque features gleaming white walls, an impressive dome, and a tall minaret. At night, the mosque is beautifully floodlit, adding to the charm of the surroundings.
Set among the houses are several other impressive mosques, each showcasing the architectural beauty and cultural richness of Seiyun.About Us
