Cisterns of Tawila
The Cisterns of Tawila, commonly known as the Tawila Tanks, are a massive network of ancient water reservoirs carved into the volcanic rock of Wadi Tawila in Aden. Dating back to the Himyarite Kingdom, these cavernous stone basins are shrouded in local legends of ancient water jinn, subterranean ghosts, and spirit guardians.
