Yemen is the only country that starts with the letter 'Y.'

It's known for its ancient history, beautiful buildings, and unique culture.

Sana'a, its capital, is over 2,500 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with special architecture.

Yemen was a major coffee trading hub.

The country also has a diverse landscape, including the island of Socotra with unusual plants like the Dragon Blood Tree.

Traditional Yemeni men wear a 'jambiya,' a curved dagger.
