Yemen Packing List Tips by MichaelFalk1969 Top 5 Page for this destination

some essential packing tips

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: - hat
- some warm clothing (even in the desert it can get very cold)
- real walking shoes (no trainers) if you go hiking are a must!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: - sunscreen; the sun is extremely intense in the mountains and the deserts
- toilet paper (if you stay in a "funduk")

Miscellaneous: - there are virtually no book shops in Yemen, so bring enough reading stuff

Money

Miscellaneous: Credit Cards - with few exceptions - are not accepted. Traveller Cheques are unknown or uncommon either. So basically your only option is to change your currency into Yemeni Rial and to rely exclusively on paper money. As violent crime, theft or robbery are practically unknown, you should not be overly concerned.
