Summary Yemen has been called happy Arabia since the time of the Roman Empire, but the current inhabitants of this poor country evoke a feeling of happiness mainly by chewing a drug. The ancient country offers an incredible amount of travel experiences from the "gingerbread" capital Sana'a, through the desert "Manhattan" Shibam to the excavations in Marib, which was supposed to be the seat of the legendary Queen of Sheba. However, on the way to Yemen, we will also visit the remnants of a peaceful Jewish community living in the middle of the Muslim majority and the island of Socotra, which is home to unique desert roses and dragon's blood trees.
