YEMEN

The reputed home of the Queen of Sheba, Yemen has been at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Asia for thousands of years thanks to its position on the ancient spice routes.

The Romans knew this fertile and wealthy country as Arabia Felix, in contrast to the relatively barren Arabia Desert to the north. And today it maintains its distinct character.

The modern Republic of Yemen was born in 1990 when traditionalist North Yemen and Marxist South Yemen merged after years of border wars and skirmishes. But the peace broke down in 1994 and a short civil war ended in defeat for separatist southerners and the survival of the unified Yemen.

Hodeida

Capital of the Tihama region of Yemen, Hodeida has been called “The Bride of the Red Sea”. Built originally by immigrant fisherman, Hodeida later became known for the exports of Yemeni coffee and pearls.

Today it is the third largest city in Yemen after the capital Sana'a and the commercial capital Aden.
