7-day Yemen Group Tours » Shibam + Mukalla + Seiyun

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.

This Yemen trip starts at Seiyun Airport. Upon your arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by our team, who will assist you with your luggage and provide a seamless transfer to your hotel. From there, your adventure through the captivating landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Yemen begins

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 airport. 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 have made significant updates to our travel plans for entering Yemen. Previously, we used to recommend and organize tours that traveled from Salalah in Oman to Seiyun by land. This route, while lengthy, ensured fixed dates for entry and departure into Yemen, providing predictability and safety for your trip. Traveling by land allowed us to stick to your planned itinerary, despite the long hours on the road.

Unfortunately, entering Yemen by land from Oman through Salalah is no longer possible, as the authorities in Oman do not permit entry via this route. However, the border remains open for exiting Yemen.

To adapt to these changes and enhance your travel experience, we have now switched to entering Yemen by air. With direct flights from Cairo to Seiyun, you can now reach your destination faster and more comfortably. Although air travel can sometimes be unpredictable, we have found reliable flight options that ensure timely arrivals and departures.

By opting for air travel, we aim to provide a smoother, more efficient journey, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the beauty and cultural richness of Yemen rather than on the road. We believe this update will enhance your overall travel experience and make your adventure in Yemen even more memorable.
