Meet the coffee farming community of AlObrah
Alobrah is a village in Yemen, nestled in the Hayma Dakhiliya region, within the isolation of Al-Ahbab. The village is renowned not only for its rich coffee production but also for its historical significance and natural beauty.
The name Alobrah means "the crossing" or "the lesson," reflecting its role as a crossing point between the two isolated tribal groups, Al-Ahbab and Bani Al-Siyagh. It stands as a place where one can not only cross from one region to another but also learn from its rich history and culture.
A stream flows from the mountains through Alobrah, providing fresh water to the village and its surroundings. This stream also feeds local waterfalls, creating a landscape of stunning beauty and a climate that is both mild and refreshing.
The villagers of Alobrah have a strong sense of community and hospitality, welcoming visitors with open arms. They take great pride in their coffee production and their village, eager to share their heritage with the outside world.
Alobrah is a place where history has been carefully preserved. The houses, built of stone and mud, remain as they were in the time of their ancestors, standing several stories high with multiple rooms. The agricultural lands, too, have been maintained as they were for generations.
The village has one of the few schools in the region, providing basic education to the children of Alobrah and nearby villages. In an area where most villages lack essential services—such as health care, electricity, and water—this school stands as a rare facility, a testament to the villagers' dedication to preserving their way of life and nurturing future generations.
