Yemen is a land of contrasts—where the vast Arabian desert meets ancient architecture, rugged mountains, and remote islands filled with life forms found nowhere else on Earth. Once known in antiquity as the Kingdom of Sheba, Yemen’s rich history is woven into Biblical tales, early Jewish and Christian influences, and later, the rapid spread of Islam during the 7th century. This country holds the soul of the ancient world in its soil—stone palaces carved into cliffs, walled villages perched high above clouds, and marketplaces that have thrived for centuries.

Yemen lies at the southernmost edge of the Arabian Peninsula, bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north and Oman to the east, and surrounded by the vast Arabian and Red Seas. It is a land of dramatic contrasts — rugged mountains, timeless deserts, and turquoise coastlines — yet burdened by one of the most prolonged and devastating conflicts in modern times. Once a flourishing hub of ancient trade routes and Islamic scholarship, Yemen today remains gripped by war, poverty, and political instability.

The war in Yemen has been one of the longest and most devastating conflicts in the modern Middle East. What began as a domestic power struggle soon evolved into a complex regional confrontation that continues to devastate the nation’s population and infrastructure. The fighting between the Saudi-led coalition and the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels has caused immense civilian suffering, mass displacement, and a prolonged humanitarian crisis.
