On the other hand, more traditional Yemen offers an exciting travel-shopping adventure unlike any other in the Middle East. These countries boast first-class tourist and business infrastructures, including some of the world's finest hotels and resorts. They also are terrific shopping destinations for everything from jewelry and designer apparel to arts, antiques, and handicrafts.
