Transportation and travel Yemen
Remember that it is currently not
advisable to travel to Yemen, and, in any case, not recommended to travel alone
on the roads, without escort or driver.
It is theoretically possible to rent
a car without a driver, but in any case, renting is almost as expensive as a
car with a driver. Then, unless you really know the country and the Arabic
language, you would have a hard time finding your way (very few road
directions).
The car with driver
This is the ideal solution for several
reasons: simplified formalities (the agency deals with authorizations), saving
time, security, freedom of action (departures, arrivals, stops, detours ...).
If the driver is cooperative (this is often the case), he will make you
discoveries that you would not have made alone.
The daily fee requested generally
includes gasoline, and the driver's pay. The meal and the accommodation of the
driver are not included, but you can always offer him a little something. As an
indication, renting a 4x4, with a driver and gasoline included, costs between
50 and 100 US $ per day.
Check the condition of the car
before leaving.
Between major cities, roads are
asphalted, while secondary roads are often unmarked tracks (4x4 required).
To cross the rub (desert) Al-Khali
by car, you will not be able to do without the services of the Bedouins.
Counting, in addition to the driver, about 150 to 300 US $ per crossing,
regardless of the number of people and (in principle) vehicles, which some
agencies are careful not to say, taxing each vehicle convoy. It's at home and
it's like that ... Same for Shaharan: it's the Bedouins who decide.
In general, it is strongly
discouraged to take the car at night.
The bus
If it is quite possible to use
public transport, it is important to know that they only use roads that serve
important cities: Sanaa, Mareb, Hodeida, Hajja, Aden, Mukalla and a few others.
inquire at the Sanaa tourist office, near the main post office). However, even
if the road network improves from year to year, many sites and villages are
only accessible by 4x4, and that's good!
They are regular and the places are
numbered. Their rates are ridiculous. Better to reserve the day before. Tickets
are bought at the bus stations; it is impossible to buy on the bus.
In addition to local buses, which
are sometimes miles away from Western comfort requirements, a company, Yemit
Co, offers modern, air-conditioned Mercedes coaches on the same routes. A bit
more expensive, but equipped with sleeper seats. Not insignificant, given the
length of the trips.
Collective taxis
They leave special stations
"taxis". The least we can say is that they are the best way to meet
Yemenis. These old vehicles leave when they consider themselves full, with a
particular notion of "full".
It is the most economical means of
transport after the stop and the walk, if one does not suffer from
claustrophobia and that one does not fear the "sporty" driving of the
drivers always in a hurry (like the passengers ...) . Moreover, some drivers
are reluctant to ship tourists who, subject to police checks, may delay.
Depending on the route taken, taxis
have bands of different colors.
We negotiate the price before
departure. Collective taxis have fixed fares, as do coaches.
Hitchhiking
Possible on the
main roads, very random on the tracks and secondary roads. The trucks will take
you without difficulty, but the drivers, not being philanthropists, will
normally ask you a remuneration of the same amount as the collective taxi
providing the same connection.
Yemenis pay
according to this system. However, we can haggle. Ask about the price before to
discuss. It also happens that drivers do not ask money from strangers.
The plane
If you are alone
and in a hurry, you will not escape. Practical, but quite expensive for long
trips to Hadramaout (it does not replace the crossing of the desert by 4x4, but
saves two days, finally ... if the plane takes off).
Yemenia Airways
provides the majority of domestic connections and sometimes offers discounts if
you have traveled home for the international flight. Inquire before buying your
ticket.
Walking
This is probably
ideal for a backpacker, but walking takes a lot of time. In Yemen, it requires
a good physical condition because of changes in altitude and climate, and a lot
of patience because hitchhiking (see above) is not a common practice.
The trek is also
a goal in itself, programmed by many major travel agencies.
