Million Dollar Jambiya
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is a picture of Sheikh Abdullah Bin Hussein Al Ahmar
who reportedly paid a million US for this famous jambiya which belonged to Imam Ahmad.

He is speaker of the Yemeni Parliment and has a website with lots of good photos of various jambiyas.

He traveled to the gulf recently for medical treatment and refused to remove his Janbiah. The european pilot refused to fly and had to be replaced.

I have heard that it is a direct insult to a Yemeni or Omani person's manhood if he was to remove his Jambiya unwillingly.
