Welcome to Yemen

• Capital of Yemen: Sanaa
• Population of Yemen: 31.1 million - 19th in Asia
• Size of Yemen: 527,968 km2 - 12th in Asia
• Languages in Yemen: Arabic

Yemen boasts an incredibly rich history and equally impressive landscapes. Home of the biblical kingdom of Sheba, which thrived for over a thousand years, Yemen entered the 20th century divided between the British and Ottoman empires. Independent since 1990, the country remains highly troubled, with tourism in Yemen virtually nonexistent. The few travelers who make it there discover an ancient land of sleepy mountain villages, marine life-rich coral reefs, and forests boasting some of the rarest tree species in the world.
