Cane (Qana')
Cane (Qana) was the southern most port in South Arabia. The
incense fields, and the heartland of Yemen were to the north
of this port. Incense was loaded onto dhows here for destinations
in Europe via ports on the northern end of the Red Sea. In time,
Cane became a clearing house for ships and goods arriving from
India, destined for Europe. Today Cane is known as Mukalla. It
is the capital of the province, and is a pain port known as "The
Gate of the Hadramaut." It is also a popular tourist spot
on the southern cost of Yemen.
