  • Favorite Thing: WEATHER: near the seaside you can find volcanic areas and the weather is hot and really wet especially in the Tihama area and so really difficult to visit this area on July or August. As Yemen is an highland where the rain falls regular in different areas that explain why some towns as Aden were build up the mountain where people can live of agriculture.
    If all the year it's possible to visit Yemen the best is from April to October, during winter you need some warm clothes.

    CLIMAT: les côtes au relief accidenté et volcanique sont basses, chaudes et humides comme la Tihama (80-100% d'humidité à Hoddeida) ou le climat est difficilement supportable en juillet et août. Grâce à son altitude le Yemen bénéficie d'une pluviométrie exceptionnelle par endroits et inhabituelle dans la péninsule. Ce qui explique pourquoi les grandes villes, hormis Aden, se sont implantées en montagne et sur les hauts plateaux du centre et de l'ouest où les nombreuses plaines avoisinantes, se prêtent à la culture de céréales, de légumes, de fruits et du qât.
    Les hauts plateaux du nord et le désert du Rub Al-Khali à l'est jouissent d'un climat chaud et sec, nous sommes dans la partie désertique du pays.
    Si on peut séjourner agréablement dans le pays durant toute l'année les meilleurs mois vont d'avril à octobre. Durant les mois d'hiver il est conseillé de porter quelques vêtements chauds.

    Fondest Memory: CLIMA le coste con rilievo accidentato e vulcanico sono basse calde e umide come la Tihama (80-100% di umidità a Hodeida) difficile da sopportare in luglio e agosto. Lo Yemen beneficia , grazie alla sua altitudine, di una pluviometria eccezionale in certe zone e inconsueto per la penisola araba. Questo spiega perché le grande città, salvo Aden, si sono sviluppate nelle montagne e negli altipiani del centro e dell'ovest dove cereali, frutta, verdura, qât e caffè possono crescere nelle grande pianure vicine.
    Gli altipiani al nord e il deserto del Rub Al Khali all'est godono di un clima caldo, ci troviamo nelle parti desertiche del paese salvo per le oasi e zone irrigate.
    La stagione migliore per visitare lo Yemen si situa tra aprile e ottobre, ma è possibile visitare il paese tutto l'anno. Consigliato qualche indumenti pesanti per i mesi invernali.

    General Tips: BUDGET/QUANTO SI SPENDE?

  • Favorite Thing: BUDGET: the rial is the money of Yemen, on the market or on the bank the same exchange. You can also change to the black market. You can also change on a travel agency or to your driver but just inform first to the rates. You can have more if you change paper money of 50 or 100$. On the shops you can have better price if you pay on $ or euro.
    An average of 15/30$/day/person is needed according the hotels you will choose, more if you rent a jeep (around 100$/day all including)

    BUDGET: le rial, monaie officielle, n'a pas de taux officiel, la plupart des banques et bureaux de change s'alignent sur le cours du souk. Le marché noir existe toujours. Vous pouvez changer aussi après des agences de location ou de votre chauffeur à condition de s'être bien renseigné sur les cours! N'hésitez pas a négocier sachant que vous obtiendrez un meilleur taux avec des dollars et des coupures de 50 ou 100 USD. Chez les commerçants vous pourrez mieux marchander si vous payer en devises.
    Compter un budget moyen de 15/30 USD/jour/persone selon la catégorie d'hotel choisie, plus si vous louer une jeep (environ 100USD/jour/jeep tout compris).

    Fondest Memory: BUDGET: il rial, moneta ufficiale, non ha un tasso di cambio ufficiale; la maggior parte delle banche e uffici cambi praticano il tasso in vigore nel suq. Il mercato nero esiste sempre. Possibilità di cambiare nelle agenzie di noleggio jeep, dal vostro autista ma prima informarsi sul cambio! Non esitate a mercanteggiare sapendo che è preferibile portare dollari e che i tagli da 50 o 100 USD ottengono un miglior cambio rispetto ai piccoli tagli. Generalmente dai commercianti pagando in moneta straniera si riesce a mercanteggiare meglio.
    Contare un budget medio di 15/30 USD/al giorno/persona a seconda della scelta alberghiera; di più se si affitta una jeep: media 100USD/giorno/jeep tutto incluso
