Yemen is located in Southwest Asia at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula between Oman and Saudi Arabia.
As of February 2004, Yemen is divided into twenty governorates (muhafazat) and one municipality called "Amanat Al-Asemah" (the latter containing the capital, Sana'a)
Yemen’s rich culture and fascinating history and heritage make it one of the Middle East’s best destinations from a sightseeing perspective. An eclectic mix of pre and post-Islamic architecture provide a plethora of photo opportunities, while the beauty of stunning natural landscapes is best appreciated with attentiveness.
