Are you looking for intrigue? Do you want a little James Bond™ like travel in your life? Then come to Yemen! Located on the south-eastern edge of the Red Sea in the Middle East, Yemen is a literal BLAST to visit. Its warm sunny climate is great for outdoor activities like avoiding landmines at the beaches or fending off carjacking attempts. Why in 1998 alone, 16 Western tourists were kidnapped and this past December seen 3 American missionaries murdered. You can pretend you are a spy just like in the movies, with people hunting you down everywhere!
However, if land sports are not to your liking then they do have water fun too. After all, the dreaded “al-Qaida” is said to have many operatives in Yemen and may have been responsible for the attacks on the USS Cole and a French Oil Tanker there. Between the civil unrest, the crime rates and the open hatred of Westerners you will be dodging from one hotel to the next everyday to keep people guessing. The whole key to your stay will simply be to stay alive until you’re allowed to leave!
BUT WAIT! There’s more!!! Your Western money goes far in Yemen and you can buy many things on the black market to take home. As long as you are in the markets spending your money you are safe* from attack and need only worry about the oppressive heat and unsafe drinking water. So give it some thought. You like adventure and love to save a few bucks. We’ve all gotta die some day, why not risk it in Yemen!
