Yemen has a hot climate with intense humidity in the Southern regions. Some northern regions go years without rainfall.

Summer temperatures reach the 120’s in the southern coastal regions. Further north, temperatures are cooler, but still in the 90’s most of the year.

Winters have the most rainfall in short but full bursts and thunderstorms. These can be dangerous for the monsoon area of the southwest.

Strong sandstorms occur regularly throughout the year.

Many organizations recommend against travel to Yemen at this time. Political turmoil is ongoing and likely to continue.

Foreign travelers are often targets of rebel groups. Due to the country’s isolation, help is unlikely. Kidnappings for ransom, armed conflicts, and terrorist activities are also fairly common.

Boats have been targeted while transiting Yemen. Pirates and rebels have conducted countless attacks.

Female, LGBT and disabled travelers should research the country before travel to the region.

Avoid mosquitoes and other bugs

Mosquito-borne infections are a threat globally.Insect-borne disease are a
threat throughout the world.

Socotra is a remote island that was separated from the continent of Africa for millions of years. It is a part of Yemen and is located just over 200 miles from that region of the Arabian Peninsula.

The climate is hot with little rain. The island is made up of a limestone plateau, mountains, and narrow coastal plains. Socotra has about 825 species of rare flora and fauna, 307 of which are unique to the island. It also has 140 species of birds with 10 that are also only in Socotra.

In 2010 the ruins of an ancient city from the second century AD were discovered by Russian archaeologists. The same year, almost 4,00 international travelers visited the island.

Think ahead on what to pack by perusing these suggestions:

  • Light Clothing – Yemen has a hot climate. Be sure to pack accordingly for the time of year and the activities you wish to do. Consider items such as sunscreen, lightweight clothing, and water-protective gear.
  • Bug Repellent – Yemen is experiencing a dengue outbreak. Make sure you’re protected with quality repellent.
  • Copies of Travel Documents – In case of lost luggage or theft, bringing copies of key documents is a must.

All Americans visiting Yemen should register online with the U.S. Department of State before departure. This will inform the office of your travel plans within the country and will allow them to reach out in the case of an emergency or evacuation.

Consular services are currently unavailable in Yemen. Travelers are advised to contact the State Department for consular needs by calling 1-202-501-4444.

“Fit Me In Last Minute!“
“I suddenly have a trip to Yemen and heard about Passport Health from a friend who had recently used their services and recommended them highly. When I phoned, they managed to fit me in since my departure was just a week away. The appointment was comprehensive with all health risks clearly explained by the exceptional Nurse Practitioner, vaccinations discussed and advised and I decided on what was best based on the excellent information she provided. Shots were given, some helpful products were purchased, and I was on my way with a booklet to reference for future questions or concerns. A+ service!”
