<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > about Yemen</h1>
Yemen is a country located at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia, with an area of about 530,000 square kilometers. Its territory borders Saudi Arabia and Oman.
Despite the fact that the people of this country are very warm and friendly, and have a mysterious culture, diverse nature and history. But yemen is actually a war-torn country, and to this day, it remains a very dangerous place.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Yemeni culture</h1>
Yemen is heavily influenced by Arab culture, with Arabic being the official language and Islam being the main religion in Yemen. The main ethnic group in Yemen is the Arabs, followed by South Asians, Persians, Europeans and African Arabs.
Influenced by internationalization, English is also widely spoken in the country. There are a small number of Christians in this country, but Jews are almost non-existent, because most Jews immigrated to Israel.

About 70 per cent of Yemeni women are illiterate, and local women are required to wear a black robe and a scarf around the clothes when they go out on weekdays, and the black robes wrap the women's bodies so tightly that they can hardly see anything except their eyes. Summer in Yemen is very hot, and I feel that it is really difficult and uncomfortable to walk around in a black robe in the hot weather.
Yemen's total population is about 30 million, of which about half are poor households. More than half of Yemenis live on less than 500 Yemeni rials (14 yuan) a day. The annual income of the local representative is 1 million Yemeni rials (26,000 yuan) per person.
It's full of poverty, and you can see 5-year-olds walking down the street to cars all day long selling things like water, necklaces or tissues. Women with children begging can also be seen everywhere, sitting on the sidewalk with their hands outstretched and asking for change, while their children lie on the sidewalk in front of them.
Local male beggars would knock on the door of someone's house and beg, and unless the owner of the house gave them a coin or two, they would sit in front of the door and not leave.
Yemen's geography is extremely diverse, consisting of plains, highlands, deserts and a number of volcanic islands. The temperature in Yemen is usually hot during the day, but when the sun goes down, the temperature drops sharply. Due to the high degree of evaporation of water, rainwater is rarely stored in time.
As a result, Yemen is currently facing a "terrible water shortage" crisis and will be the first country with a severe water shortage. Adding to the headache is the fact that despite Yemen's water shortage, the vast majority of the country's fresh water is spent on inefficient agricultural production. This makes it even worse for Yemenis who do not have enough food to eat.
Poverty here is crazy, there is no class between rich and poor. Not only do many Yemenis have no money, but about half of the population is malnourished. Nearly half of the children under the age of five in the country are stunted and stunted as a result of chronic malnutrition.
Even more worrying is the estimated fact that in a dozen years or so, residents of Yemen's capital, Sana'a, will not have enough fresh water to use. If this continues, then the Yemenis will not only have no food but also no drink.
Dust and garbage can be seen everywhere in Yemen. People let garbage on the streets and sidewalks, and the height of the garbage accumulation is almost up to the knee of the person.
Hot weather is prone to bacteria, and the garbage dumps emit a very unpleasant odor, which may be one of the reasons for the high incidence of diseases such as bacterial diarrhea, typhoid fever, dengue fever and malaria in the country. The life expectancy of Yemenis is 64 years, and such a short life expectancy may also be affected by the environment.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > yemeni security</h1>
The crime rate in Yemen is high for foreigners. The probability of being kidnapped in Yemen is high. So, if you have to travel to Yemen then I suggest you bring armed guards with you. It's legal for people here to have guns, so anyone can walk down the street with a gun.
Even children walk around the street carrying AK-47s on their shoulders. And almost every man here has a machete hanging from his belt. While I don't know if the knives were used as weapons or just as an ornament, they always look a little scary.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > yemen in my eyes</h1>
Life in Yemen is very difficult, although most Yemenis are kind and hospitable. But I think what really destroyed this country was the ignorance of the people. When the world entered the age of technology, the country failed to keep pace.
Although Yemen is located in the Middle East, it is relatively scarce in resources and even has very little oil compared to its neighbors such as Saudi Arabia and Oman. And oil production from the country's old oil fields is declining, which is a concern because oil exports account for about 90 percent of the country's total exports.
I think Yemen is a very beautiful country, it should be a good place for holiday tourism, and I sincerely hope that yemeni life can return to the good old days.
