Best of Yemen Overland (Aden-Sana’a-Hodeida)
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.
Aden
A seaport city at the eastern approach to the Red Sea with a population of approximately a million people.
Aden's ancient, natural harbor lies in the crater of an extinct volcano which now forms a peninsula joined to the mainland by a low isthmus. Called Front Bay was first used between the 5th and 7th centuries BC. The modern harbor is on the other side of the peninsula.
Aden consists of a number of distinct sub-centers: Crater, the original port city, Ma’alla, the modern port, Tawahi known as "Steamer Point" in British colonial days and the resorts of Gold Mohur.
Once a military base for the British, Khormaksar, located on the isthmus that connects Aden proper with the mainland, includes the city's diplomatic missions.
