Yemen is situated on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsular opposite Djibouti, Eritrea, Somaliland and Somalia. It controls access to the Gulf of Aden (which South Yemen used to be called) which is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Modern day Yemen was once the home of the Queen of Sheba and there are ancient ruins going back to about 500 B.C. It has a coastline with the Red Sea and with the Indian Ocean. |
