Road conditions are quite poor and many roads are in a state of disrepair. The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Urban Planning is now supervising a redevelopment and reconstruction plan for Yemen's road network. Within Sana'a and from Ta'izz to Mokha, the roads are reliable. From Aden to Ta'izz is three to five hours driving time. A road links Aden and Sana'a, otherwise the road network is mainly limited to desert tracks.
