7-day Yemen Private Tour » Seiyun to Salalah (Oman)

The Hadramout region can be safely visited as an Arab military army coalition controls the whole region, directly managed by the United Arab Emirates. The itinerary may change because of last-minute arrangements, so it is essential always to follow the guide’s instructions and be flexible with plan changes. Your safety is our top priority.

Unfortunately, Sanaa is still not safe enough for a visit.

Our tours will start in Salalah, Oman, where our guide will pick you up at the airport or your hotel. A transfer will be arranged for you from Salalah, and our team in Yemen will meet you at the border to begin your exciting journey. When you come to the border of Yemen, he will help you with the visa and passport stamp. You will pay the rest of the money to our guide. You will need a vaccination certificate to enter Yemen and Oman. Also, please do not book a flight out of Oman on the day you arrive from Yemen, as there may be delays, and you will need to ensure that you catch your flight. It is best to book a hotel in Salalah in advance.

Seiyun, Shibam, and Mukallah are all located in the Hadhramaut Governorate of Yemen. The weather in the winter in this region is typically hot and dry, with temperatures ranging from around 25 to 35 degrees Celsius (mid-70s to mid-90s Fahrenheit), It is important to carry light, loose-fitting clothing made of breathable fabrics, as well as sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Additionally, you should bring a light sweater or jacket for the occasional cool evening.

In order to finalize your reservation, a 20% deposit must be made via our secure online payment portal. This quoted rate is valid for a period of seven days, during which time the reservation may be secured by paying the deposit. Please note that after one week, the rate may be subject to change based on fluctuations in exchange rates and availability.

The rest of the payment will be delivered in cash to my guide in Yemen when you meet him at the border. You must bring large USD denomination banknotes (50 and 100) up to 2009. Please make sure you get them well in advance. Some of our clients had difficulties getting USD bills at the last minute. You can also pay in Euros (20, 50, and 100), carrying the new banknotes that entered into circulation in 2019, called the Euro Europa series. The exchange rate of EURO and USD in Yemen is 1 to 1.

Due to current financial limitations in Yemen, we are currently only able to accept cash payments upon arrival. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience and we assure you that we are making every effort to find a solution. We anticipate having an update on this matter in the coming weeks, most likely later this month or early February. In the meantime, please rest assured that we will do our best to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for your trip to Yemen and any other destinations in our portfolio.

Yemen is not a normal country and it is not prepared with the normal touristic facilities. Although we try to give you the best hotels in Yemen, sometimes security and going off-grid is more important than offering you the best hotel in town.

We understand that the drive from Salalah to Seiyun may seem long, but I want to assure you that this is the best way to guarantee fixed dates for entry and departure into Yemen. While the journey may be lengthy, travelling in Yemen by land ensures you can enter and exit the country on the exact dates you have planned. On the other hand, traveling by air can be unpredictable, as flights may not always arrive or depart on schedule. To ensure your safety and a smooth trip, I strongly recommend the land route, even though it may take longer. Rest assured that the long hours on the road will be worth it when you experience the beauty of Yemen.
