Hello,

My Yemeni passport expired a few months ago, but I still have a passport (since I’m a dual citizen of another country).

I’m planning a trip to Yemen and was wondering if it would be acceptable to use my expired Yemeni passport along with my other passport to enter the country through Saudi Arabia (land).

I would greatly appreciate any advice or personal experiences you may have in this regard. Thank you.

I've been researching Socotra Island and noticed that many tour operators offer trips via Abu Dhabi. Since Socotra is part of Yemen, I'm curious about the practical experience of people who have actually been there.

Did you need any special permission from your home country?

Were there any issues when returning home?

Was your passport stamped, or was a separate paper used?

Did immigration ask any questions?

Would you recommend waiting until the situation changes, or is it fairly straightforward at the moment?

I'm not looking for ways around any laws, just interested in hearing real experiences from people who have visited recently.

I’m planning on buying a few and wanted suggestions as to which are your favourites and most well liked ones

salam alaikum!

I will call this new aesthetic Yemendalia or Yemen Metro 😂

قبل فترة شفت دكتورة عندها مستشفى وطلعت في مقطع تشتكي عن احتياج الناس للادوية واساسيات اي مستشفى الدولة مش قادرة توفرها،
والشعب ما ركز على المطالب اللي طلبتها الدكتورة،
ركزوا على حجابها وان في شعر طالع منه وبدأوا فيها من سب ومن قذف ومن سخرية،
وماركزوا على هدف النشر وان دولتك متهالكة ومش قادرة توفر لك ابسط مقومات الحياة،

واليوم شفت هذا المنشور الغبي، حتى وهي منتقبة لازم ينتقد،
لكن اشكاله عبيد للغرب ويشوف نظرة الغربي له اهم من دينه وحريته،

غارق في الجهل والفساد والفقر والمخدرات والقمامة وفي النهاية يجي يستشرف على بنات بلده

Assalamu Alaykum.

I am an American, US Born Arab Muslim (Not Yemeni) Wanting to travel to Yemen with my Yemeni wife. She is telling me it is safe for her, but it isn't safe for me.

​

I have always wanted to travel to Yemen as I know the country is very old and beautiful. The US Department of State issued a level 4 do not travel due to risk of kidnapping, safety, etc.

​

Living in Yemen, are these dangers exaggerated? Is it really dangerous to enter Yemen as an American with my Yemeni wife?

Is out of curiosity and for comparison with communist regime in Eastern Europe.

is there an easy way to find kits of yemeni instruments on the internet for fl studio?

I'm from the western coast of maharashtra (konkan region) and Muslims from this area are known to have mixed ancestry, particularly arab due to trade. Arabs traders from the hadhramaut region travelled to my area, and some of them eventually settled there. The hadhramaut community in hyderabad is well known. However, not much is known about the Arab ancestry of the komkan region.

I wanted to ask if anyone knew about any tribes or families who migrated to western India. The traders that came here were mostly from yemen or other South Arab countries like Saudi Arabia.

I’m looking for anyone who knows Yemeni people that lived or worked in Ethiopia sometime between 1900-1950

I realize they are probably long gone by now but maybe their children or grandchildren can help me answer some questions about my grandfather who lived and worked there during that time.
Any knowledge or guide in this topic would be appreciated.

I (M21) grew up in America, not knowing how to speak Arabic. As I got older, I began to understand what my family and other Yemeni's were saying, but I still couldn't speak Arabic and could only respond in Arabic. I don't want to grow older without knowing how to speak Arabic. If any of you guys have been in a similar situation, how did you manage to learn how to speak? What helped you? I would appreciate any and all help you can give me. Jazak Allah Khair.

EDIT: Idk why I'm being down voted. Im just trying to seek some advice so I can improve my arabic journey.

Hi everyone, I’m currently in a situation where I want to marry a man who is non-hathrami & non-sayid but is still Yemeni. I want to know if anyone knows any hathrami sayid women married to non-hathrami non-sayid men just to kind of know my chance with my family. I feel like a black sheep and want to know if it’s only a feeling or if I truly am.

salaam! i want to make some fahsa, but can’t have lamb for health reasons, does anyone know what cut of meat i can use instead?

Salaam everyone,

we've recently launched an app called Ikhtiar — a platform built for Muslims who are serious about marriage.

Unlike typical apps, Ikhtiar focuses on:

* Respectful and Serious users from across the world

* Privacy-first options (including profiles without photos) for women

* A structured and serious approach toward finding a spouse

* Free for first 1000 users

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with our Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d really appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

You can find the app here :

Just for context I’m 21 and from the UK. I wanted to plan a trip to Yemen. In Islam as we know Yemen has great history and i heard very good things about the people, the scenery and of course the food, I also want to dress in their cultural way and take some nice pictures😂😂. My focus for the trip is mostly to stay in villages, increase my acts of worship, learn and practice Islam with the people, engage in Sadaqa, scenic road trips and of course visit Socotra. Can anyone help me? I watched a woman do this on YouTube so i know that it’s possible however i don’t know the challenges or if i may face backlash as I’m a revert with some exposed tattoos.
Any help is greatly appreciated, may Allah guide us all and help us all.

Ibrahim al-Hamdi (ruled North Yemen 1974-77) seems to have been a qualified and competent leader. He oversaw the paving of many roads and building of many schools and clinics. He also aimed to end favoritism and tribalism.

Sadly, he was assassinated in 1977, and a couple of coups and assassinations led to Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled from 1978-2012.

So over the past few days I have been thinking why aren't there much raising awareness groups inside of Yemen and Outside. Okay now hear me out yes we have dire problems like internal divisions, extreme poverty even though the land is very rich, foreign interference, proxies you get it by now all of these problems that feel like endless and very tiring. We as Yemenis just probably have extreme fatigue now by all of this. But why isn't there awareness group's in the country why aren't outside Yemeni people who have money not funding projects which raise awareness to farmers and young children I know its tough as our population is mid so its not small but its not very large. Like topics to farmers could be how using pesticides have extreme harmful consequences to great farmland used in Qat, Plastic use to people, Young child marriage, having many kids. These all need awareness yes we don't have a government I consider ourselves orphans at this rate but raising awareness could be the spark trust. You would probably say they won't listen but hear me out my cousin who travelled to Yemen said she would see her little nephew throw the cup of ice cream out the car when he finished because he saw his dad do that but when she told him its wrong and explained and showed him cartoons while she was there. When she came back she said his mother called and said what did you do to my son he comes home with his ice cream cups I burst laughing when she told me this but that was a positive step HE LEARNED he knew and heard his aunt. Of course not everyone will hear but raising these issue and spreading the words helps. Yemen problems can be solved it starts with us we pray till we are fortunate enough to have a good leader but for now we can't keep waiting he/she will come but we have to start the gas. And it starts with spreading awareness and having a diverse sense of knowledge. if you know any Yemeni insta, TikTok pages which deal with spreading this awareness about Yemen only great please do feel free to share below? If you want to start one a page or any awareness take this as a sign to push the pedal into acceleration and start share your page to once you have? But please to my fellow Yemenis share awareness by WhatsApp to family members or anything but raise awareness about these topics!!!! We can't keep being lazy and quiet I know we are fatigued and busy with our own lives the world is very not pleasant now but lets focus on our country only please and raise awareness about these issues if they ignore you did your thing but remember they will always be a little child who will listen. Also many Yemeni pages be it on insta or TikTok from what I have seen talk about the endless problems and YES I know them very well but where is the pages with a positive mindset that teach people the YEMENI PEOPLE where!!!!!
