Portraits of Yemen

Sana'a, Yemen — View from the top

Yemen is all over the news these days for all the wrong reasons. Those of you interested in that sort of thing would do well to read Waq al-Waq as a necessary companion blog to Western reporting on Yemen, which does tend to come across as uninformed and inaccurate most of the time.

I still miss that country greatly and think constantly about what a wonderful experience it was, to have had the chance to see it. Here are some of the beautiful people I met.

  • Yemen is a very beautiful country, judging on your pictures. I have never been there, but due to your article i would like to visit it. There is something special about this country. To tell the truth, I think that all orient countries are very beautiful and unusual, in spite of their economic developement level, as many of them are not industrial. But there is so much charming about these countries! Thank you for your interesting photos!
  • Yemen looks so beautiful, it is such a shame it has such a bad Western press. Great picture!
