When you hear about travel to Yemen, most people are talking about heading to Socotra. Well, most people arenāt travelling to Yemen at all actually, but those who are are mostly thinking about Socotra. Because of the civil war, sadly mainland Yemen has been largely off the cards for a long time. We however, are here to show you what mainland Yemen has to offer, and take you to some absolutely amazing places that a lot of people have discounted. While the west of the country is still largely off-limits, we will take you on a road trip in the east of the country which has remained fairly stable throughout the conflict.
We will show you the epic sites such as the āManhattan of the desertā, the famous colour palaces of the many desert villages and the spectacular Mehri coast.
The situation in Yemen is definitely improving and we hope that we will be able to explore
more and more of this country in the near future as it becomes ever safer to do so!
