The Tourism Ministry Office in Marib has launched a program for re-qualifying tourist facilities in the province in offering standard tourist services.

Inaugurating the program in an event in Bilqees Hotel in the city, the deputy governor Abdullah al-Babakry affirmed the importance of reviving local tourism.

"Marib's tourist and investment potentials are promising and banked on to be an important economic source of revenue," he said.

Among Marib's tourist sites is the Bilquees Throne and Sun Temple.

Tourism in Yemen has been brought to its kneels since the turmoil of 2011; the pro-democracy protests and the violent response to them by the then ruling regime.
