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.
