Yemen
Yemen occupies the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, where desert plateaus drop sharply toward a long coastline on the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea. Ancient mud-brick tower houses rise from highland valleys, frankincense trade routes cross the interior, and the island of Socotra harbours plant life found nowhere else on earth. Daily life has been shaped for centuries by a deeply tribal social fabric and one of the oldest continuous urban cultures in the Arab world.
About Yemen
Overview
Yemen borders Saudi Arabia to the north and Oman to the northeast, with coastline stretching along both the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Sanaa, a UNESCO-listed old city, serves as the historic capital, though political authority has been contested since 2014. Arabic is the official language and the Yemeni rial the currency. The country's cultural identity draws from pre-Islamic South Arabian civilisations, Islamic scholarship, and maritime trading heritage.
