Discover with us the beauty and mystery of Arabia Felix |
|
| The old Arabic
legends and even the Yemenis say that AL-YAMAN
derives from the word AL-YUMN (blessing and prosperity). This meaning agrees with the name "Arabia
Felix". Others say the classification AL-YAMAN derives from yumna (right from the Kaaba...). The Arabs orientate themselves towards the
right direction, because the right side is a symbol of fortune.
Still some Yemenis always express
with the word "AL-SHAM" the North and with AL-YAMAN the South.
Today the Yemen is called "Republic of Yemen". |
|
| Since ancient
times Yemen has enchanted travelers, merchants, philosophers and kings with its secrets
and its wealth. This
country in the south-west corner of the Arabian Peninsula fascinates every visitor with
the variety and the contrasts of the vegetation, landscape, the architecture and the
people: |
|
 Gigantic mountains with
villages like fortresses on the top of the peaks Picturesque urban settlements with houses of clay, bricks and stone
Deserts and fertile valleys, magnificent terraces and
dreamlike beaches
Colorful markets with the sounds, fragrances, and faces
from 1001 Nights |
|
| When you visit Yemen
child-dreams become to a personal experience. You will meet the old wisdom and the art of the Land of the Queen of Sheba

The old history and rich tradition of the Yemeni
people are the sources of their identity, dignity, kindness and hospitality. |
