The Republic of Yemen is located in the Middle East on the Arabian Peninsula. The country shares borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman and has coastline on the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden. The population is about 26 million people. The government is a republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
Present-day Yemen has been the site of trade empires for thousands of years. In the 900s BCE, Yemen was part of the Kingdom of Sheba. The Ottoman Empire conquered northwestern Yemen in the early 16th century dividing the country into two parts. The current Republic of Yemen was established in 1990 when the Former Yemen Arab Republic and the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen merged. The basis of Yemen’s laws and customs is centred on Islamic beliefs and practices. Yemen is among the poorest countries in the Middle East. Political upheaval and violent protests have occurred due to economic problems, high unemployment, and a failed government.
Among Yemen’s attractions are four UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Old Walled City of Shibam in Wadi Hadhramaut, the Old City of Sana’a, the town of Zabid which was the capital of Yemen from the 13th to 15th centuries, and the Socotra Archipelago.
At the time of writing, the security situation in Yemen is unstable and unpredictable for travel.

安全保卫工作在Yemen
个人安全
The threat to security and personal safety in Yemen is extremely high due to economic conditions, civil unrest, and active terrorist groups, including the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The AQAP has claimed responsibility for many attacks in Yemen. The threat of kidnapping and terrorist attacks are extremely high. Westerners and places frequented by Westerners are actively targeted. The government of Yemen has limited control over parts of the country. Police do not always adhere to any sort of legal framework and may act unconventionally. For example, police may detain people without cause based on requests from tribes or influential families.
If travelling to Yemen, security arrangements are extremely important. Travellers may need to hire personal security escorts to ensure their safety.
Travel outside Sana’a requires a permit that could take up to 24 hours to receive. Without this permit, a traveller could be detained or deported.
There is a high risk of carjacking. Due to the high risk of kidnapping, particularly of foreigners, do not use the Aden-Taiz-Sana’a highway. Routes in and out of cities can be blocked with little or no notice.
Weapons are easily available, and tribes and other groups can be heavily armed.
Although less of a problem in Yemen, petty crime does occur. Keep valuables secured and out of sight. Safeguard your important documents, such as your passport.
Women have been verbally and physically harassed in this country and should exercise caution. Always wear a head covering, avoid eye contact with men, and cover arms and legs. Unaccompanied women can be targeted.
极端暴力
Extreme violence is common in Yemen. The security situation is unstable and unpredictable. There is a very high threat of terrorist attack and kidnapping. Westerners are targeted. Any international worker or visitor could be targeted (including westerners of Yemeni origin, journalists, tourists, students, teachers, and workers with the United Nations, non-governmental organizations, and oil and gas companies). Your country of origin may not be able to protect you or secure your safe release if you are kidnapped.
政治动荡
Civil unrest and armed conflict occur frequently in Yemen, and the overall situation remains volatile.
应避免的区域
Do not travel to Yemen (including the island of Socotra) due to ongoing armed conflict, and the very high threat of kidnapping and terrorism.
