Yemen’s dramatic mountains, mud-brick skyscrapers, and terraced fields create a landscape like nowhere else. Yemenis are famous for their coffee, intricate silver jewelry, and oral storytelling traditions. Islam is central, but local customs—like the chewing of qat and the recitation of ancient poetry—are woven into daily life. Spirituality is often expressed through Sufi music, tribal gatherings, and the architecture of mosques and shrines.
