Yemen Activities

Yemen is a country with an extraordinary wealth of culture and history, from the ancient city of Shibam, often referred to as "Manhattan of the Desert" for its towering mud-brick buildings, to the old city of Sana`a, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with distinctive rammed-earth and burnt-brick towers. Al-Saleh Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the Arab world, and Dar al-Hajar, an iconic rock palace, are must-sees. Socotra Island, with its alien-like Dragon Blood Trees and biodiversity, offers natural wonders that rival the Galapagos. Despite its treasures, Yemen has been profoundly affected by ongoing conflict, and travel is currently advised against. However, its rich heritage and natural beauty continue to be a testament to the resilience and spirit of Yemen and its people.
