Cradled in the vast expanse of West Asia, Yemen boasts a history spanning over 7,000 years. It was the birthplace of the Sabaeans, a thriving trading state that extended into what is now Ethiopia and Eritrea. It was a land of many kingdoms and tribes, with historical footprints left by the Saba, Hadramout, Qataban, Ma'in, and Himyarite Kingdoms. Even the Romans, lured by its happiness-inspiring coffee, christened Yemen as "Arabia Felix" or "Happy Arabia".

Throughout the centuries, Yemen has been the stage for mighty empires, the influence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as various dynastic shifts. A key player in early Islamic conquests, Yemen transitioned under Ottoman and British rule, and later unified in 1990 as the Republic of Yemen. All through its complex history, Yemen has managed to retain a timeless charm in its architecture and local culture, evident in its bustling markets, towering mud-brick buildings, and hospitable people.

When to visit Yemen

With its strategic location and diverse topography, best times to visit Yemen can vary. For a delightful weather with nature in full bloom, consider visiting between January and March or November and December, which also serve as ideal months for family excursions. Cities like Sanaa, Aden, and Al Hudaydah brim with traditional charm and cultural vibrancy, offering a rich taste of Yemenite life.

Take advantage of Sanaa's balmy weather from April to September, while the year-end chill could offer a contrasting experience. Rainfall typically adorns the cityscape during April, July, and August. For serenity lovers, the quiet charm of Shibam, the alien beauty of Socotra Archipelago, the well-preserved historic town of Tarim, and the old-world charm of Sana' offer pleasant climates for almost the entire year. A swim in the warm waters of Aden could be enjoyed anytime from March to December. Regardless of when you travel, Yemen's diverse tapestry beckons its visitors with promises of memorable moments and mesmerising vistas.
