Yemen is an Arab country in Western Asia at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen is the second-largest country in the peninsula, occupying 527,970 km2(203,850 sq mi). It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, the Gulf of Adenand Arabian Sea to the south, and Oman to the east-northeast. Although Yemen's constitutionally stated capital is the city of Sana'a, the city has been under rebel control since February 2015. Because of this, Yemen's capital has been temporarily relocated to the port city of Aden, on the southern coast. Yemen's territory includes more than 200 islands; the largest of these is Socotra.
With its long sea border between eastern and western civilizations, Yemen has long existed at a crossroads of cultures with a strategic location in terms of trade on the west of the Arabian Peninsula.
Yemen was the home of the Sabaeans (biblical Sheba), a trading state that flourished for over a thousand years and also included parts of modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea. In 275 AD, the region came under the rule of the later Jewish-influenced Himyarite Kingdom.[10] Christianity arrived in the fourth century, whereas Judaism and local paganism were already established. Islam spread quickly in the seventh century and Yemenite troops were crucial in the expansion of the early Islamic conquests.
Administration of Yemen has long been notoriously difficult. Several dynasties emerged from the ninth to 16th centuries, the Rasulid dynasty being the strongest and most prosperous.
The Zaydi Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen was established after World War I in North Yemen before the creation of the Yemen Arab Republic in 1962. South Yemen remained a British protectorate known as the Aden Protectorate until 1967 when it became an independent state and later, a Marxist state. The two Yemeni states united to form the modern republic of Yemen in 1990.

The Alien Beauty of Socotra Island
The remote island of Socotra looks like a landscape out of a sci-fi film. Over millions of years, the isolated island in the Arabian Sea has cultivated a unique biodiversity unlike anywhere else on Earth. Twisted dragon’s blood trees and bulbous bottle trees have made Socotra a place of legends, feared by sailors throughout history and believed by some to be the site of the original Garden of Eden.

Visit Socotra Island, Yemen - The Strangest Place in the World
Take a tour of Socotra Island in Yemen where certain plant and animal species are found nowhere else on earth -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
Hi I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.
Socotra Island off the coast of Yemen has been called the strangest place in the world.
This is true, but it's also one of the most interesting places in the world. Socotra is an isolated place of odd and beautiful plants and animals.
There are hundreds of flora and fauna that can only be found in this one place.
Socotra Island is home to the dragon's blood tree which weeps a red fluid.
There's also the corpulent desert rose, which grows a lovely pink flower.
These and other wonderfully bizarre forms of life bring people to these islands on a regular basis.
UNESCO has recognized Socotra Island as a natural world heritage site worthy of being preserved.
Thank you for watching our travel video series, see you next time.

YEMEN: DANGEROUS YET BEAUTIFUL AND KIND
Yemen has been devastated by a civil war and it was one of poorest countries in the Arab world. However, it is the home of so much beauty and history, but what truly amazed me was how kind and welcoming the locals were. I was traveling solo, but never felt alone thanks to the warmth of is people. Royalty Free songs (Vadodara and Blue Ska by Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com Music authorized to use for this video.
