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.
