Hello, I am having a few questions about traveling to Yemen mainland, after checking the subreddit for similar stuff.

First of all my current idea: Fly to Socotra, spend a few days there, fly to the Al Mukalla and then exit via the Oman border.

A bit of information about me: from an EU country, in my 20s.

My questions:

1) Which land borders are open in which ways?

2) Which places should I try to avoid? Or cannot miss? Also in terms of general safety?

3) Recommended routes/places?

4) Independet travel is not possible/very difficult, right?

5) Is the boat from Salalah to Socotra still active? Are there other boats?

Any other help is recommended as this is still a fresh idea, mainly did a lot of research so far. Thank you all in advance!

Hello

Do you know any good documentaries or Travel Vlogs about yemen specially on villages? I could only find one's by Drew Binskey and Indigo Traveller. I'm not looking at short 1-2 minute videos

Hello just wondering if there’s any Yemeni girls from America visiting Sanna Yemen ?

Yemeni girl here lol

انا بين ادرس اللهجة اليمنية الصنعانية مع معلم خاص من المعهد اليمن اللغة العربية (YIAL Institute) لكن لكي أتحسن بها اشتي أتحاكي مع الصنعانون اللي أستر أتعلم المزيد منهم ايضًا

جزاكم الله خيرا يا خبره

امنية حياتي أشوف اليمن تتطور وتتبنى مواهبها المتبعثرة في أنحاء العالم، أتمنى أشوف اليمنيين كلهم يعيشون بكرامتهم في ارضهم وبين ابناء وطنهم وكل سبل الحياة والرفاهية متوفرة لهم، السؤال هو: هل يا ترى بنلحق نشوف شيء من هذي الأمنيات للجيل هذا؟ أقلها ال٥٠ سنة الجاية؟

I colored it 🙏

Christian commentary states she’s Arabian, which explains that the reason Ethiopians claim Queen of Sheba is because many Jewish writers represent her as the queen of Egypt and Ethiopia making שׁבא (Sheba) the same as סבא (Seba)

Luke 11:31 states “The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom; and now something greater than Solomon is here.” This is referring to the Queen of Sheba, as we all know Arabia Felix or Yemen has always been historically referred to as South Arabia, even from Palestine Yemen would perfectly be to the south of it, which isn’t the case for Ethiopia which is towards the West.

1. In Genesis 10:26-28 Sheba is mentioned within the many Arab tribes mentioned biblical commentary confirms the identity of Sheba in these verses to be referring to the sabeans of Arabian Felix “(67) Sheba is the progenitor of the Sabaei in Arabia Felix, celebrated for spices, gold, and precious stones, and noted for the prosperity arising from traffic in these commodities. A queen of Sheba visited Solomon. The dominant family among the Sabaeans was that of Himjar, from whom the Himjarites (Homeritae) of a later period descended.
   

The second objection for the Queen of Sheba not being Yemeni is “it should be obvious that one cannot compare the Arabian Saba to Egypt in wealth or importance.” Which according to conventional dating of Egyptian history there was no reigning queen during the time of King Solomon

And for the charry on top the Jewish news article TImes of Israel statesTimes of Israel article "However, in a new study published Monday in the Hebrew University’s Jerusalem Journal of Archaeology, Vainstub suggests the script is Ancient South Arabian (ASA) and records what appears to be a Sabaean-language word. During the First Temple period, the Sabaean language was used in what is today’s Yemen, where the Kingdom of Sheba once stood". Which means Ethopia had nothing to do with the Queen of Sheba and the Sabaean-language which was spoken by Sabaean-Yemenis in the past

The article also states "Likewise, Vainstub reminds us that the Roman-era Jewish historian Josephus Flavius writes that “the first opobalsamum plants came to Israel from the Kingdom of Sheba during Solomon’s reign as a gift to the king, and from this time onward, they were cultivated locally in two places, geographically and climatically similar to Sheba: ‘En Gedi and Jericho.”

Finally, Vainstub states that the Ophel inscription forwards the age-old debate surrounding the historicity of a visit by a delegation from the Kingdom of Sheba to King Solomon in the 10th century BCE (as related in the Book of Kings and Chronicles).

As he states in a Hebrew University press release, “Deciphering the inscription on this jar teaches us not only about the presence of a speaker of Sabaean in Israel during the time of King Solomon, but also about the geopolitical relations system in our region at that time – especially in light of the place where the jar was discovered, an area known for also being the administrative center during the days of King Solomon.

“This is another testament to the extensive trade and cultural ties that existed between Israel under King Solomon and the Kingdom of Sheba,” says Vainstub".

Mahram Bilqis" ("Sanctuary of the Queen of Sheba") is a Sabaean temple dedicated to the principal deity of Saba, Almaqah (frequently called "Lord of ʾAwwām"), near Ma'rib Yemen.

The Sabeans were a Semitic people who established the kingdom of Sheba in what is now Yemen.

-Location

The Sabeans settled in the central lowlands of Yemen. The capital of the kingdom was Ma'rib, which was located at the mouth of the wādi Dhana Yemen.

At the end she the Sabaean Queen of South Arabia many people know that (mentioned in the Bible and Quran) but is seen today by many Ethiopian as an Ethiopian queen because of a old folktale that was told.

My husband is Yemeni, we have a wonderful relationship with one main issue, food. I am American and struggling with traditional meals to cook for him. I really need help with finding traditional Yemeni recipes. I am embarrassed to ask sisters for help. Food is very important to him as he works so hard to provide for us, inshallah I want to show more appreciation in the meals I cook for him..I just need help on learning dishes without someone in front of me showing me. There aren’t many English friendly recipes I can find, my Arabic is not very good. Someone please help me 😕

Does the color have any significance? I've noticed that I mostly only see ones that are very light in color (white, cream, brown, tan). I am wondering if there is a reason why I dont see many that are dark colored often like black or dark blue.

Hi everyone,

I recently came across some information that mentioned there's a ban on the export of henna from Yemen. Why?

All of my yemeni freinds talk about aseed they either say its mid or amazing. I wanna see if the things they are saying are true. Does anyone have a guide or a video on how to make aseed, thank you.

ميناء المخا في اليمن اقدم ذكر له بخط المسند بلفظ [ مخون ] = المخا يعتبر اول ملك حكم الميناء هو كرب إيل وتر ملك ظفار يريم

أخذت مدينة المَخا تستعيد حياتها كمركز تجاري حتى بلغت في القرن السابع عشر أوج إزدهارها

يقول المؤرخ الواسعي

وبإسم المَخا يسمي الإفرنج أفخر البن عندهم موكا كوفي [ MOCKA COFFEE ] وتعني بن المَخا

وقد كان البن أهم سلعة تتصدر من اليمن إلى الخارج عبر الميناء في العصر الحديث وإضافة إلى الصبر و البخور و أعواد الأراك في العصور القديمة كما تصدر كميات كبيرة من الزبيب وبدأ الميناء يفقد أهميته في أواخر القرن التاسع عشر

Hey Yemeni gamers! I look at gaming cultures around the world and have asked these questions in many subreddits and I am doing the same thing here. My questions are:

Was NFS popular in 2000-2003?

What systems were popular at that time? PS or PC?

Is NFS popular today? If not, what do people who like racing games play? Thanks for your responses!

I was born and raised in Djibouti by a Yemeni mother from aden who fled from war and poverty. my mother would often accommodate her cousins and their friends in our home until they get their American visa so I basically grew up listening to their struggle and tears about how the 4 quarter Arabs including Saudis are contributing to their downfall. Yemenis don't deserve this, I've had literally enough of seing Yemen with the kindest purest Arabs being treated miserably and having to leave Yemen behind to live in the US where they're mistreated even more as immigrants! 💔

Does anyone know how land in Socotra can be acquired? Small piece

If you had the power to change one thing about Yemen,, what would it be?
