"About a 20-minute drive from Marib, I find Saba typically filled with whole families vying for elbow room to dig into dishes like fahsa, a meaty stew served bubbling in a cauldron of broth, herbs, and spices. The best seats are in the majalis — a living-room setup where guests sit on the floor surrounded by couches and pillows — and people linger there over coffee, tea, or gishr, a drink steeped in coffee husks and spiced with ginger, clove, and cinnamon." - Tim Ebner
