It's hard to believe that I'm walking the streets of Yemen, truly surreal and unbelievable to experience the culture and meet this amazing people in Shibam and other areas.

    I lived and taught in Yemen for 6 years (1989 - 1995) in Sanaa. Of course it was far more open and safe back then…this video brings back lots of memories

    That boy at 6 minutes is awesome. His English is amazing and his dedication to his studies is nice to see. I hope he succeeds in every area of his life.

  • I am American and taught ESL English in Saudi in 2012 and my two Yemeni students were The Best in my class for they were mature, serious and took their studies 'to heart'- great young men!!

    I think this is one of the most remarkable videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Thank you for the look inside of Yemen.

    Im Scottish, now retired, i worked in a global communication industry , some 20 odd years ago i visited Sanna and although there were check points etc i never felt under threat. I met beautiful people in business, travelled into mountains in townships restraunts and the like. I've kept engaged in their circumstances and prayed for their safety and survival. They might be the last of their culture. I visited also many other countries in the region, non touched my heart so much. Something happens when you stand in the soil of different nations, it goes beyond our 5 senses. Thank you, great work, love from Yorkshire England.

    I run an engineering company in Malaysia and I'm proud to have hosted several Yemeni students as my engineering interns. Very nice and humble people.

    Saw this video and cried. This is the most human thing possible: being resilient even in hard times. Smiling, hoping, dreaming… I hope these children and teenagers can have a peaceful country to live one day. This is a very beautiful country and what makes it even better is the people.

  • @Lt_Tragg
    I was amazed at hearing the spoken English amongst the young folks; indeed well spoken English at that.
  • This is the first video I’ve come across of yours and already I’m hooked I love the way you speak so kindly about these beautiful people that the world is sheltered from but these are some of the most amazingly strong intelligent humble people you will ever meet they aren’t like you and I
  • Makes me cry .so beautiful peoples and not easy life but they love smile
  • Amazing! Thank you for showing us a part of Yemen. Kind regards from Australia 🇦🇺
  • @itookallthenames
    I’m always looking for travel narrators who don’t just make it about themselves and are genuinely curious and empathetic. Jackpot!
  • @davidhill2677
    I live near Detroit Michigan, many of my neighbors are Yemenis. My housemate's best friend is from Yemen. I have the same experience with the childre, always outside playing. I noticed, not a single female in your video. I am not surprised.

    It should be acknowledged that this statement does not apply universally to every individual in every country, as there are always exceptions and variations. However, after observing numerous travel videos showcasing different cultures, places, and peoples, it becomes apparent to me that people, in general, share common desires for a decent and peaceful life with everyone. The majority of individuals are genuinely friendly and hospitable. The issues always seem to come from our leaders who seem determined to pit us against each other. Thank you for showing us a little glimpse into Yemen.
