Travel in Yemen FAQ

As a travel agency in Yemen, we guarantee that your expedition is both pleasurable and enlightening while also being trouble-free.

Are these trips private tours?

Yes, these Yemen tours are made so that only you, your family, and your friends will travel together. You will not be traveling to Yemen along with people you never met. We also have group tours available if you’re interested.

How much is the price of monument tickets in Yemen?

Considering that you’re interested in one of our tours, the prices of monument and museum entrances in Yemen are not really relevant. All our tours include entrance tickets for the most famous attractions. So you don’t have to worry about this matter.

What is the best way to fly in and out of Yemen?

Our tours in mainland Yemen only start in Salalah city. So, the best way to fly to Yemen is through Oman. It is crucial to have an early hotel or airport pick-up so that we have a decent time to drive to the border, make all necessary border formalities, and drive all the way to Seiyun before dark. We will pick you up at your hotel at 6 am or directly at the airport if your flight arrives before that and you are ready to leave early.

How much will the flight tickets for this tour cost?

Prices vary depending on the time of the year and how much you purchase your tickets in advance. But usually, we can say that a round-trip ticket from most European cities to Oman will cost around 500 Euros up to 800 Euros, depending on the season. You can also try to fly to Dubai and, from there, get another airplane straight to Salalah.

What is the capital city of Yemen?

The capital of Yemen is Sanaa, with a population of approximately 2.5 million people. Sanaa is still not safe enough for a visit. But the Hadramout region can be visited.

When you book our Yemen tours, please consider that it takes two weeks for us to order your visa to Yemen. Your passport must be valid for at least six months. Our driver for the transfer, Salalah-Seiyun will guide you and help you with all these simple procedures.

Why do our tours start in Salalah, Oman?

After operating in Yemen for a while, we decided only to sell and provide trips departing from the Omani city of Salalah. We share our thoughts about the trip taking into account this trip’s detail.

1- The unreliability of the flights from Cairo-Seyun-Cairo. Although there are five weekly flights between Cairo and Seyun, the situation on the ground is that if they don’t have enough passengers, they postpone the flights to the next one, the next one, and the next one. We cannot afford to have clients stuck on the ground because of uncertain flight departures.

2- We understand that the way from Salalah to Seyun is almost a one-day lost feeling, yet, enjoy the ride and live it as it is. You’re in Yemen. After crossing the border, our guide will make sure you go to the local qat market, and you will enjoy a local restaurant before heading to the hotel and rest, preparing yourself for the next day.

3- Don’t book a flight out of Oman on the day of arrival from Yemen. You must ensure you get your flight and can afford a few-hour delay to arrive in Salalah. Book a hotel in Salalah in advance.

4- Consequently, the Yemeni visa (included in the tour package) that we negotiated with the local authorities reflects our decision, and it works as a border-crossing visa.

How are the hotels in Yemen?

Hotel standards in Yemen will possibly not be the best in terms of Western standards,m but our tour tries to offer you the best in terms of security, staff, and service. Check our page about Hotels in Yemen.
