Anyone who had the privilege of doing so decades ago describes Yemen as one of the most beautiful journeys in the world. Over the last 20 years, the country has been plagued by serious internal conflicts, famines, and socio-economic issues, making travel effectively impossible. The situation is far from stable, but there is a glimmer of hope: in the eastern region of Hadramawt, one of the most beautiful in the country, conditions are slowly improving. And it is here that our 6-day expedition will take place, exploring the port of Mukalla and the remote valleys of Wadi Dawat, among canyons and mud villages perched on rocky outcrops, ending with the proto-skyscrapers of Shibam, the legendary \u00abManhattan of the desert\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n While waiting to be able to return to Sana\u2019a, the legendary capital of Yemen, which is now inaccessible, we are ready to bring travel back to the country! With a local guide, we will be among the very first Westerners to set foot again in these breathtaking lands in more than 10 years. We will be based in the village of Haid Al-Jazil, one of the most remote and spectacular in Yemen, where time seems to have stood still. And from the desert, seeing the magical silhouette of the mud skyscrapers of Shibam suddenly emerge will feel like an extraordinary mirage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n 3- and 4-star hotels in traditional buildings<\/span><\/p>\n 4×4 vehicles with driver<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n DAY 1: <\/b>flight to Cairo, visit to the main attractions depending on arrival times.
