After nine years of pioneering custom guided tours across Yemen, I founded Yemeni Dreams in 2002 — a time when tourism in Yemen was beginning to open up to the world. Our vision then, as it remains today, was to offer international travelers the rare chance to visit the southern Arabian Peninsula and immerse themselves in the rich roots of Arabic culture.
With over 30 years of experience in tourism, our team understands deeply what travelers are looking for — and we go above and beyond to exceed those expectations. We work closely with each client to craft tailor-made travel programs throughout the year, selecting the finest 3, 4, and 5-star hotels Yemen has to offer for a comfortable and authentic experience.
In addition to cultural tours, we are experts in:
Mountain treks
Camping expeditions
Desert safaris and overland journeys
Our multilingual guides are passionate tourism professionals with in-depth knowledge of Yemeni history and culture, offering insightful experiences that stay with our guests long after their journey ends.
To ensure safety and comfort, our fleet consists of modern, fully-equipped Land Cruisers, maintained to the highest standards.
Recognizing a growing interest in unique and off-the-beaten-path destinations, Yemeni Dreams expanded its footprint in 2011 to include:
Ethiopia with its ancient heritage and rich Christian history
Djibouti known for its striking geological wonders and coasts
Eritrea – showcasing a blend of colonial charm and African spirit
Somaliland – a land of hospitality and untouched beauty
Kenya – offering rich safari experiences and cultural diversity
And most recently, in 2025, we proudly launched our operations in Saudi Arabia, allowing our clients to explore the hidden gems of the Kingdom — from UNESCO World Heritage sites to modern marvels — as part of our newest offering: Ark Touring
Our mission is to consistently deliver a
quality product, friendly service and great
value that make customers confident that ARk TOURING Co. is their best choice.
Our values are part of what make us different from other companies — and we view this as both a strength and a responsibility.
