Brief

  • Aden is not a normal tourist destination. Travel should be limited to essential, professionally supported journeys with contingency plans for sudden changes to routes, flights and port access.
  • Try local dishes such as saltah, fahsa, mandi and fresh seafood, but choose reputable establishments and ensure food is thoroughly cooked.

Safety and health

  • Security risk is extreme: fighting has intensified in western Yemen, with violence affecting routes between Aden, Taiz and the Red Sea coast. Armed conflict, airstrikes, drones, kidnapping, terrorism, checkpoints and unexploded ordnance remain serious risks. Avoid all non-essential travel and do not approach military sites, government facilities, ports or demonstrations. (aljazeera.com | siasat.com)
  • Malaria risk has increased, including in areas previously considered lower risk. Obtain destination-specific medical advice about preventive medication and avoid mosquito bites day and night. (cdc.gov)
  • Cases of paratyphoid fever have been reported in returning travellers from Yemen. Drink sealed bottled water, avoid unsafe ice and raw food, and wash hands frequently. (cdc.gov)
  • Dengue, Zika, leishmaniasis and Rift Valley fever are possible through mosquito or sand-fly bites or contact with infected livestock. Use repellent, long clothing and screened or air-conditioned accommodation; avoid contact with sick animals. (cdc.gov)
  • Avoid camels and sick people because of MERS concerns, and avoid all stray animals because rabies treatment may be extremely difficult to obtain locally. Medical facilities are seriously underdeveloped, and tap water should be avoided. (cdc.gov | wikivoyage.org)
