Yemen

Yemen lies at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula and has frontiers with Saudi Arabia and Oman and controls the strategic straits at the Southern entrance to the Red Sea (Bab al Mendab). The north of the country has three well-defined areas: a coastal strip along the Red Sea, the highlands inland and a desert area to the east. The south consists largely of mountains and desert. The  population is poor and largely rural, but there has been large-scale urbanisation in the last decade and almost half of the population now live in towns

Yemen is not a rich country, but the presence of oil, gas and mineral deposits, the amount of  development aid flowing into the country and the unequal distribution of wealth amongst the  population mean that commercial opportunities exist
