Plan your tailor-made tripYemen is a Last Place. Without a doubt it is now more than ever, immersed in an endless civil war. Its traditional social and economic organization has closed in on itself an anachronistic and fantastic country in this globalized world that tends to bury identities. Yemen is so powerful and alluring that it is worth the risk and excitement of the trip. Mountain tribal groups and nomads still roaming the Arabian desert enrich its iconic image of architectural paradise. Traveling through the mud towns and cities of Yemen means living permanently in a Stendhalian state.
Last Places bets on this unique and unrepeatable destination with its team of local guides who resist against anarchy and despair. We finish off the Yemeni experience by walking through the enchanted forests of centuries-old dragon trees.
Why should you travel to Yemen?
Sanaa
The walled and fantastic capital, but currently it is not the best time to visit it since Saudi Arabia bombs it periodically... We will return to Sanaa one day. Insha Allah!
Shibam
Historic city of spectacular beauty known as the 'Manhattan of the desert'.
Socotra
The Island of Geniuses according to the orientalist writer Jordi Esteva. Singular, magical, with a unique flora and culture.
Seiyun
Another beautiful city located in the Hadramut Valley, with dreamlike architecture and traditional culture.
Sufi shrines
At Last Places we like to delve into the local culture and Sufism is part of the religiosity of the Yemenis. The Aynat and Qaber Nabi Hood sanctuaries stand out, where hundreds of faithful come to connect with the afterlife.
Tarim
From this historic city, Islam spread to the African Continent. Ideal place to walk and get lost in its alleys and sanctuaries.
