Travel within Yemen

In spite of the travel warning that has been in effect for Yemen for the last several years, AIYS fellows and other researchers in Yemen have been very successful in carrying out their work. The U.S. embassy advises Americans in Yemen to observe security precautions in their daily routines and as they travel through Yemen. Travel permits are now necessary for surface travel outside Sana'a and other major cities. AIYS members who are in Yemen or plan to travel there may request that the Resident Director put them on the distribution list for U.S. embassy warden notices.
