Yemen
This corner of Arabia is without a doubt its most exciting region. Yemen is utterly unique and you will find no other place like it in the world. Steeped in history it is one of the contenders for the ancient land of the Queen of Sheba, and its position across the Red Sea from the Horn of Africa has meant that it has absorbed numerous cultural influences over the years while retaining its own very distinct character. We offer small group tours and tailor made holidays to Yemen which encompass the most impressive areas of this truly magical land, from the mud brick skyscrapers of Wadi Hadhramaut to Sana’a’s stunning old city. Yemen oozes history, with the fading grandeur of its Red Sea ports to fortified hilltop villages with mosques dating back almost to the birth of Islam. As is so often the case, its people add a very special element to travelling within the country, renowned for their hospitality and with a strong sense of tradition. Yemen is spectacular, a true jewel in the Arabian crown – visit it with us.
