The route will weave in and out of the date palm lined wadis, up steep canyons and across the harsh interior of the Hadramout region. It’s an adventure which follows in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest explorers, such as Freya Stark and Wilfred Thesiger.

We do not and cannot offer a uniform accommodation standard on our itineraries. We consider comfort, location, design, character, historical interest and whether the money we spend will go into the pockets of the local community when we make our choices of where to stay.
The trip is based on staying in a simple hotel or equivalent when in towns (twin sharing).
When camping you will have a single tent.
Our trekking trips are designed to be physically engaging and do provide a level of challenge for most people. As a general guideline, we recommend that you have some prior experience walking up to 8 hours per day, over 5 or more days through uneven & varied terrain (and weather).
We do not directly arrange international flights to Yemen.
There are flights from Cairo to Seiyun with Yemenia Airways.
We will obtain visa authorisation documents for guests ahead of travel so that they will be able to obtain visas on arrival.
Please ensure that you have appropriate insurance cover.
If you have any questions about which insurance company to select, please contact us.
Breakfast is included in hotels. Other meals to be paid for by guest.
All meals provided when on trek.
An experienced English-speaking Yemeni guide will accompany you as well as an international guide from Untamed Borders.
Yemen is currently in a state of civil war. The majority of that fighting takes place in the west of the country and there is very limited conflict in the Hadramut region. Security conditions can change, and we must state that the local team have the final word with regards to changes in the itinerary for safety reasons.
