Sunday - Al-Raudha, Wadi Dhabab, Manakha, Saada

Clothing
Because of the mild and warm climate it is recommended to bring light, loose cotton clothes with you. Women and men should cover their upper arms and legs. Furthermore everybody needs solid footwear and head cover because Yemen is a mountainous country.
In the winter months, during night and in the early morning the temperatures in the mountain areas are relatively cold. Therefore, a pullover or a jacket should be included in your baggage.
