Yemen Travel Blogs

I came across this hilarious cartoon ... here are the words but a couple of them are beyond me.  Heaven is: A Syrian wife Lebanese food Emirati citizenship Jordanian security Egyptian tourism A Palestinian neighbour Saudi taxes Qatari salary Hell is: An Egyptian wife Emirati f…

Leaving Yemen Leaving Yemen was sad for me.  Sanaa had been my home for 5 weeks.  I've never been to a school that's been so cool.  Where in the world would you find your teacher wearing a gun holster (with bullet holders) to class? I also loved the climate in Sanaa ... at about 70…

An experience of a different kind.

Flew to Sanaa via Djibouti.  It felt so good to be in Sanaa again ... it feels like a home away from home.  

please have a look

And here I am in Yemen. Sana'a to be exact. Again!   This is so surreal. Never in a million years would I have imagined my job would take me to such an old city.   The Ancient Romans are said to have called Yemen "Happy Arabia" because of the lucrative spice trade (and, therefor…

Last week, I went to Yemen. Now, there’s a sentence I never thought would come out of my fingertips. But I did, despite warnings from absolutely everyone about potential kidnappings and men who carry AK47s to breakfast. But flights were cheap, we had nothing better to do (except move house, obvio…

A few years ago, despite growing tension in the Middle East, I decided I HAD to experience Ramadan in Yemen - a land of hardcore Muslim tradition where men where machine guns and daggers as fashion accessories and women are phantoms hiding behind garden walls and black veils.

Felix Arabia is the name that the ancient greek used to call now adays Yemen,which means the happy arabia.As far as I seen there is no happiness left in Yemen but,still you can feel that they still have their old pride,and you can feel that from the most difficult locations they used to build their own houses and towns.

More than four years ago, in a guesthouse in Aman, I heard for the first time exciting travel stories about Yemen. From that moment there was this plan in my head to visit the southern part of the Arabian peninsula. At the end of last year I found a friend willing to join me, and we booked a 15…

Before arriving in Yemen, I had no expectations whatsoever about the country, I thought it would be just another Arab country, boy I was so wrong! When I got to Old Sana'a, I felt like I traveled back in time, at least 1000 years! The people there are really friendly and they enjoy inviting foreign…

This was un overdue trip which I finally decided to do while travelling in the area (Jordan & Syria). Of course my ultimate goal was to reach the remote island of Socotra; where I spent a fab 7 days; and here are the photos. Feel free to ask any questions and advice.

My work often takes me to the beautiful nation of Qatar, and many surrounding nations. Although I've made this journey many times, I'll combine my blog into one specific time period.

Yesssssssss, I had dreamed about this island since I started spoting these amazing pics on Google Earth, so the day I had my ticket with Yemenia I knew nothing would stop me, not even the reports of kidnaps and other travel perils!...The whole journey was a awesome!
