Mysterious, timeless,
achingly beautiful. These are just a few of the words used to
describe Yemen, most inaccessible of all the Arabian nations. For
the adventurous, Yemen offers stunning medieval cities, many still as
they were during the time of ancient Sheba, and a warm, welcoming
culture which still embodies the best traditions of Arabian
hospitality. The sheer mystique of a country still largely untouched
by progress draws thousands of visitors every year, and despite the
security risks often cited in guidebooks and newspapers, Yemen
continues to be one of the most intriguing travel destinations for
those willing to explore a world far off the beaten tourist track.
