An average of 15/30$/day/person is needed according the hotels you will choose, more if you rent a jeep (around 100$/day all including)
BUDGET: le rial, monaie officielle, n'a pas de taux officiel, la plupart des banques et bureaux de change s'alignent sur le cours du souk. Le marché noir existe toujours. Vous pouvez changer aussi après des agences de location ou de votre chauffeur à condition de s'être bien renseigné sur les cours! N'hésitez pas a négocier sachant que vous obtiendrez un meilleur taux avec des dollars et des coupures de 50 ou 100 USD. Chez les commerçants vous pourrez mieux marchander si vous payer en devises.
Compter un budget moyen de 15/30 USD/jour/persone selon la catégorie d'hotel choisie, plus si vous louer une jeep (environ 100USD/jour/jeep tout compris).
BUDGET: il rial, moneta ufficiale, non ha un tasso di cambio ufficiale; la maggior parte delle banche e uffici cambi praticano il tasso in vigore nel suq. Il mercato nero esiste sempre. Possibilità di cambiare nelle agenzie di noleggio jeep, dal vostro autista ma prima informarsi sul cambio! Non esitate a mercanteggiare sapendo che è preferibile portare dollari e che i tagli da 50 o 100 USD ottengono un miglior cambio rispetto ai piccoli tagli. Generalmente dai commercianti pagando in moneta straniera si riesce a mercanteggiare meglio.
Contare un budget medio di 15/30 USD/al giorno/persona a seconda della scelta alberghiera; di più se si affitta una jeep: media 100USD/giorno/jeep tutto incluso Leave a Comment

If all the year it's possible to visit Yemen the best is from April to October, during winter you need some warm clothes.
CLIMAT: les côtes au relief accidenté et volcanique sont basses, chaudes et humides comme la Tihama (80-100% d'humidité à Hoddeida) ou le climat est difficilement supportable en juillet et août. Grâce à son altitude le Yemen bénéficie d'une pluviométrie exceptionnelle par endroits et inhabituelle dans la péninsule. Ce qui explique pourquoi les grandes villes, hormis Aden, se sont implantées en montagne et sur les hauts plateaux du centre et de l'ouest où les nombreuses plaines avoisinantes, se prêtent à la culture de céréales, de légumes, de fruits et du qât.
Les hauts plateaux du nord et le désert du Rub Al-Khali à l'est jouissent d'un climat chaud et sec, nous sommes dans la partie désertique du pays.
Si on peut séjourner agréablement dans le pays durant toute l'année les meilleurs mois vont d'avril à octobre. Durant les mois d'hiver il est conseillé de porter quelques vêtements chauds.
CLIMA le coste con rilievo accidentato e vulcanico sono basse calde e umide come la Tihama (80-100% di umidità a Hodeida) difficile da sopportare in luglio e agosto. Lo Yemen beneficia , grazie alla sua altitudine, di una pluviometria eccezionale in certe zone e inconsueto per la penisola araba. Questo spiega perché le grande città, salvo Aden, si sono sviluppate nelle montagne e negli altipiani del centro e dell'ovest dove cereali, frutta, verdura, qât e caffè possono crescere nelle grande pianure vicine.
Gli altipiani al nord e il deserto del Rub Al Khali all'est godono di un clima caldo, ci troviamo nelle parti desertiche del paese salvo per le oasi e zone irrigate.
La stagione migliore per visitare lo Yemen si situa tra aprile e ottobre, ma è possibile visitare il paese tutto l'anno. Consigliato qualche indumenti pesanti per i mesi invernali. Leave a Comment

Almost everyone, except the Gulf states citizen, has to buy the tourist visa on arrival. To avoid delay, you should be sure that you are onte of the first passengers to take the first transfer bus from aircraft to arrival terminal hall. In the transfer bus, stay on teh left side of the door as the arrival hall is on the left side of the bus. Once you get out of the bus, enter the arrival hall and move quickly to the left side and note for the sign "VISA" (see the first pic).
There is a small window in the middle of reflection glass. Have $$, YR, USD or EUR are ok ready. It was about YR5,500 (May 2008) or about US$30 for single entry visa. If you pay more of foreign currency, you can get change in YR, but the rate may not be so good. But if you change $$ in the next counter first, then you will be behind a few visa applications, that means you have to queue for visa. So small $$ can buy for your time.
It takes about 3-4 mins to get the paper visa done (see 2nd pic for the paper sticker visa on passport. After visa is obtained, then proceed to queue for immigration counter, which may take another 30-45 mins, depends on the passenger flow and length of queue, and mostly, how fast the immigration offficer process.

The mountain range of the southern Arabian Peninsula runs through the Yemen, with its highest peak, Hadur Shu'ayb at 3,760 metres.
Hajjah itself is a citadel, situated on the central hill of Hajjah, famous for underground prison cells used by the Imams.
Topographical variations in this region give rise to a wide range of climatic conditions, and its fertile highland plateaus are ideal for growing a wide variety of both tropical and temperate zone crops. These highland regions are interspersed with wadis -- river valleys which are dry in the summer months.
While the cities of Yemen are modern, many of Yemen's mountain villages are unchanged and remain much as they were in antiquity. Stone houses, ornate architecture and a rich life, devoid of technology, provide a refreshing view of life as it once was lived.
Highlands
When most people think of Yemen and the Arabian penninsula, sand dunes and hot desert lands come to mind.
While Yemen does have this type of climate in the extreme East, a large part of the country is sub-tropical and full of lush vegetation.
In fact, Yemen has some of the highest mountains in the region with beautiful vistas and hundreds of small friendly villages devoted to farming and agriculture.
