Women in the Hadramaut area wear all black and the ones who work in the fields wear tall conical shaped straw sunhats, like witches hats, which contrast quite starkly with their black clothes. Everybody wants to photograph them but unfortunately women in Yemen do not like being photographed, those in Hadramaut more so.
We saw some women working in the fields wearing the hats and stopped to try to get a photo. They started shouting at us, waving their sticks and threw them on the ground.
Luckily the ones in the photograph were more concerned with finding a lost goat so I managed to get the photo.
It won't be too long before they realise it's the hats that are the attraction and start taking them off when tourists approach.
