Sa’da Getting there & around

Getting there & away

For almost all the period between 2003 and late 2006, Sa’da was completely out of bounds to all tourists due to the highly unstable security situation. In early 2007 the city, and the city alone, was reopened to foreign visitors, but only to those travelling in a tour group. Even then, the situation was highly unstable and the town and roads leading to it could be opened and closed on a daily basis.

Should the situation ever improve, shared taxis run to San’a (YR650, four hours, 20 to 30 daily) via Amran (YR650, three hours). At the time of research, there were no buses at all connecting Sa’da to the capital.
