The Republic of Yemen is the result of unification between the Yemen Arab Republic and the Socialist People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen; with Sanaa proclaimed the political capital, while the business centre is Aden. Yemen is developing a calm and collected air. Although the country is rapidly modernising, you'll find plenty of old-style Arabia - from spicy souqs to sumptuous palaces - wherever you travel.

Yemen is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. You will feel like you jumped back in time, some good thousand years. Men and women still wear traditional garb, the houses look like pictures from your children's Bible (or Koran).

Sanaa the capital is great and is probably your point of entry. The old city is on the world heritage list of UNESCO. Marib is another must see. The Great Marib Dam is a very impressive structure and shows how developed early Yemenite civilizations were. Shibam is dubbed the Manhattan of the desert and is far away but very pretty.
