Active vacation in Yemen - things to do, entertainment and nightlife
Yemen is not a famous destination for modern travelers, but active recreation enthusiasts will find many interesting entertainments in it. First of all, it is important to mention that Yemen is a Muslim country and nightlife is not developed here. In order to enjoy nighttime entertainment, it is better to visit some other country.

Yemenis love football no less than Europeans. The country’s football team is a member of FIFA. Many teenagers in Yemen enjoy playing football. Cycling is also popular. Yemen is a country of mountains and deserts, so rocks of all shapes and sizes never cease to attract numerous alpinists. The Sarawat Mountains are the most popular destination for fans of this group. If compared to the tallest mountains in the world, mountains in Yemen are not very big – from 2,000 m to 3,666 m (Jabal An-Nabī Shuʿayb Mountain). However, the mountains in Yemen are the tallest in the Arabian Peninsula. Travelers can make an interesting hiking tour from the town of Manakhah to the Haraz Mountains.

It is not that easy to reach it, however, the journey is worth the effort. When you reach the top, an absolutely breathtaking picture will be a reward. There is a simple reason why villages appeared high in the mountains and not in the valley. This way it was easier to protect the village from invaders. Small villages in Yemen are traditionally located on hills, cliffs or in the mountains. As it is hard to find big areas among rocks, such villages are usually small and buildings have several floors. There can be a single-floor mosque, but single-floor residential buildings almost do not exist.
