Yemen
Yemen sits astride the major mountain range of the southern Arabian Peninsula. Jabal Nabi Shu'ayb (3,760 m/12,336 ft), is the highest peak on the peninsula. The numerous ridges and valleys of this range have given Yemen hundreds of microclimates and made it possible to raise an incredible variety of tropical and temperate zone crops. Nonagricultural resources barely have been assessed and exploited. Local mineral deposits provided a basis for important industries, such as the making of iron knives and swords. Many types of flora found in Yemen are unique, and many are endangered as a result of recent development activities. Below are articles on Yemen travel and tourism information and guide on vacation spots and destinations in Yemen.
