One of the most striking features of Yemen is its astonishing architecture. You'll also see mind-blowing mosques, sultans' palaces and villages perched on top of seemingly inaccessible mountains. Yemen is bounded to its north by Saudi Arabia, and to the east by Oman. In these high areas you can still find active volcanoes and hot springs. Yemen's flora and fauna have been all but wiped out by the combination of over-cultivation, deforestation and desertification.
More rain falls in the foothills, and a few evergreen plants such as palms and acacias grow there.
Yemn is the least sandy place on the Arabian peninsula, thanks to the the twice-yearly monsoon winds which dump huge quantities of water on the country. The wet season runs from March to May and from July to August, while the highest temperatures are between June and August. Most of the rain falls in the western mountains between July and August, while no rain ever falls in the desert.
