4. Be careful when taking pictures in Yemen. It is not allowed to take pictures of women. The same applies to the police, military people and objects, and city infrastructure.
5. Don’t forget that Yemen is a closed country, and so foreigners cannot move within its borders without permission. In order to visit different regions of Yemen, tourists need to have a special permit from the tourist police. A permit to move around a city doesn’t allow a tourist to leave that city.
6. Do not forget about safety measures. There were cases of kidnapping foreigners in order to get a ransom. In order to prevent potential problems, book rooms only in hotels for foreigners, do not go anywhere alone and choose only central streets when planning a route.
7. Do not consume alcohol anywhere outside restaurants and bars in hotels. Don’t forget that Yemen is a Muslim country, so the consumption of alcohol can cause punishment. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
8. It is necessary to take warm clothing. Evenings and nights are always cold in the mountains, and summer is no exception. Warm clothing will be always handy.
9. Women shouldn’t appear in public places with uncovered hands and hair. It is better to wear skirts below the knee-length, shirts with long sleeves, and cover head with a scarf.
10. It is better to avoid mass gatherings. If you feel danger, do not hesitate to ask the police to help. There are police patrols at almost every crossroads. Police cars are painted blue or white.
11. In order not to pay too much for services (hotel, restaurant, taxi) or goods (markets, small shops), do not forget to bargain because bargaining is allowed in Yemen. Locals expect tourists to pay too much, so it is always a good idea to check the price several times and make sure you understand the opponent correctly whether he is a taxi driver or an administrator in a hotel.
