Yemen

Entertainment in Yemen

  1. A

    Al-Rayan

    Ta'izz has many excellent juice bars. Normally decorated with curtains of fresh mangos and oranges, these respites from the heat and chaos outside provide delicious, healthy drinks. A couple of good ones are the Al-Rayan and the busy, unnamed one next to the Tadhamon International Bank on Gamal Abdul Nasser St.

  2. B

    Sailor's Club

    When in a seedy port, do as is done in seedy ports and come to a smoky, seedy nightclub. This one is full of Somali prostitutes and hard-drinking locals and is hardly representative of Yemen. But for some travellers, a highlight of Aden is the chance to sip a much-missed beer. Spirits cost YR700; beer YR1000.

  3. Coffeehouses

    Various Turkish-style coffeehouses can be found around Bab al-Yaman, including the coffeehouse next to the wall, immediately to the left of the gate as you enter the old city (look out for the awning).

    Arafat Lakonda

    The hardcore qat and sheesha crowd of Arafat Lakonda might appeal to some but it's not for the timid (or women).
