Bradt Travel Guide: Yemen

About this book

Yemen is shrugging off its image of being a country with a security issue, to reveal its stunning landscape and fascinating culture - justifiably worth visiting by professional archaeologists, historians, the business traveller, or those making the most of Yemen's adventure sports such as hiking and scuba-diving. All will gain thrills treading on ground which is the site of the Sabaean dynasty - the era of the fabled Queen of Sheba. Yemen is undoubtedly the choice of those interested in digging deeper into regional culture.
