TOUR OVERVIEW
One of the many things that has for a long time made Yemen feel very unachievable for a lot of people is that most mainland Yemen tours require you to catch an expensive flight from Cairo to Seiyun and back again, adding roughly $1000 to the tour. But there's a simple, cool, and much cheaper way around this - you can actually cross the border from Saudi! This gives way more options for flights and international travel, which makes the whole venture much more affordable, and this is how we're planning all our Yemen tours. Plus, as we see it, the added bonus of crossing a land border where very few foreigners have ever crossed.
When you hear about travel to Yemen, most people are talking about heading to Socotra. Well, most people aren’t 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 ‘Manhattan of the desert’, the famous colourful 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!

All our tours are able to be split into smaller sections, we're always scheduling new tours and your dates might work for one of them, or we can always organise an independent tour.
