Yemen is shrugging off its image of being a country with a security issue, to reveal its stunning landscape and fascinating culture – justifiably worth visiting by professional archaeologists, historians, the business traveller, or those making the most of Yemen's adventure sports such as hiking and scuba-diving. All will gain thrills treading on ground which is the site of the Sabaean dynasty – the era of the fabled Queen of Sheba. Yemen is undoubtedly the choice of those interested in digging deeper into regional culture.

 

• The only up-to-date dedicated guide to Yemen on the market.

• The latest information on visas, security and obtaining travel permits, plus living and working in Yemen.

• Tribal culture, desert areas inhabited by nomads, Mar’ib and other archaeological sites.
