Table Etiquette

Traditional Yemeni food is served without utensils or plates (in the most traditional of restaurants without tables or chairs either!). Yemenis eat from common serving dishes on top of a flat basket called a “sufrah”. To eat in tru Yemeni fashion, just dig in. Be sure to use your right hand. For those more timid or novice eaters, using a piece of bread to scoop with may be better to your liking. If, however, you can not leave your western table manners behind you, in most places, a spoon and fork can be provided. As a general rule, don’t be bashful, food in Yemen is not a meal, it’s an experience!.

Time

The Yemeni time zone is +3 GMT.

Traditional Courtesies

While Yemenis have a conservative society, they are well aware of the other societies of the world. One should maintain a healthy respect for the native culture, but not feel confined by it. A handshake greeting is normal among men and foreign woven. In general men should avoid contact with Yemeni women. The hospitality of Yemenis is legendary, and one will often be often be offered to share in a meal or a bag of qat.

Travel Permission

Thanks to the tremendous efforts by the government and people of Yemen, it is safe to travel to virtually all areas of the country without governmental permission. Currently there are some restrictions on travel to the northern parts of the country without permission or escort. Because much of this area is covered with vast and remote desert, it would not be prudent to travel this region alone on the chance of an emergency. Secondly, because Yemen shares a long, porous border with Saudi Arabia, the country cannot always guarantee the hospitality of some of the northern nomadic peoples, and an escort is advisable.

What to Wear

Yemen is a geographically divers country with a variety of climates, and your clothin should accommodate this. Because Sana’a lies at 7,000 ft., a sweater or jacket will be useful een during the summer seasons. A good rain coat or poncho is for the rainy seasons (March-April, August-September) as the afternoon showers, though brief, can be surprisingly heavy. Long sleeve shirts are effective as protection against the sun. Shorts are very inappropriate as street wear for both men and women as Yemeni is socially conservative country.

Women: If you bring pants, be sure to bring a top that falls to you mid thighs. Leggings are a good idea for beneath dresses or skirts, and traditional pants for Yemeni women of exceptional quality may be purchased from the U.N. Women’s Handicraft Center. Tank dresses worn with tee-shirts underneath are fine everyday wear. If you like to wear jewelry, feel free to bring it to Yemen, as Yemeni women wear lots of jewelry and it can often be an “ice-breaker” in conversations with local women. In general, you should keep with loose-fitting clothing that is not transparent.

Men: as a general rule, men should avoid tank tops and shorts. You will find you are more easily accepted be the men of Yemen if you don’t wear jewelry, earrings and necklaces.

When To Go

The mountain regions with their mild climate are pleasant year round. The southern coastal regions become very hot and humid in the summer months, but the rest of the year are much more hospitable. The deserts, although hot during the summer months, are bearable for short durations, and in the winter are relatively comfortable.
