Yemen is a country that breaths history through every pore, not only through its ancient ruins and monuments, but also through its traditions and culture which remain a part of everyday life. Yemen has one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, with ties to the Semitic lands to its north, and to the cultures of the Horn of Africa, just across the Red Sea. Sanaa is the capital city of Yemen. It is one of the highest cities in the world with an altitude of 2,300 meters. With a population of approximately 1,748,000, Sanaa is the largest city of Yemen.
