*Yemen. Yemen. Yemen. This country has really captured my heart.* Shukran to the Yemeni people for having me in your beautiful land 🇾🇪
Welcome to Yemen
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Greetings and shukran luk for showing us this beautiful land!
Thank you too Nick for taking us to Yemen.
Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪.
Respect to you and people of Yemen From Iran(Persia)🇮🇷❤
The translator was very good. He explained accurately and even made expressions that couldn't be translated comparable to ones in english that have the same meaning. Very good.
This is always important to me as a multilingual person. I always hope it's a good translation so the message isn't lost!
@@jocelynnelesniewski1321 same, really true
agreed
You just answered my deep questions! Thank you acknowledging that. I’ve always wondered if there is some type of “over exaggerating” of what is really good vs what isn’t.
Like archer with the idioms?
I’m originally from Yemen, but live in America. I just wanted to say thank you for showing the current situations of yemen, many people don’t know the crisis in yemen. And thank you for showing yemen as the beautiful and strong country it truly is. @Indigo Traveller
Kinda surprised this wasn't his final stop.
@@bobjenkins4606 Don't be surprised when no one cares when it's your own.
Thanks for not acting like it was America that did this to your people, this was going on well before America even stepped into Saudi Arabia if my history recalls correctly. Though it was off and on.
Me too am from yemen
@@diydunder3377 Thank you, people always want it to seem like america is doing everything everywhere when in reality it's nowhere near that black and white, saudi arabia is the country doing this and the U.K is just as complicit as the U.S if not more yet everyone in the comments is talking more about the U.S than saudi arabia itself let alone the U.K, as you can see the yemeni talking about the crisis didn't even mention america rather the U.K, yet all these non-yemenis are using it as an excuse to go on an unhinged scream talk about america because for some reason people think america is the only country in the world that's worth speaking about, it's annoying.
Fascinating how the harshest environments sometimes generate some of the most kind and beautiful people
A country filled with persecution, subjugation and child abuse. Yemen has one of highest rates of child marriage in the world. I had a lovely work colleague who was Yemeni, a doctor (specialist) who moved to Australia. If he lived back home he would no doubt be executed. You can guess why?
It's the rule. Difficult times create great men and all that.
@@kaiserchief9319 Good times create weak men, our generation.
Hard times create strong men good times create weak men weak men create hard times.
@@thatboi9740 unless you raise ur kids right
Funny thing is that, even in the worst places, every human being has a kind heart except who is ruling it's country.
Great info from Yemen.
It’s the poor who often have the biggest hearts.
@@Stoney-Jacksman a civil war. Humanitarian crisis, great instability
@@xalpacazeu1332 very true. People with low means often share more than those with all the riches. And seem to be purer for many reasons.
Poor man: "Here, you can have the shirt off my back. You need it more than I do."
Rich man: "My net worth only increased by 5% this year. That's terrible. I _still_ can't afford that sailboat! My golf buddies are going to ridicule me because they're making more than me. How embarrassing! Why me??"
I find the psychology fascinating. I think it has something to do with isolationism. The rich tend to migrate into their own individual bubbles where it's acceptable to be very self-concerned. The poor have no choice but to act as a community, all for one and one for all. There is strength in groups. But if you have millions of dollars then you don't need a group, so you make your own rules and create your own reality. I'm sure there are exceptions to this paradigm, but it's something I've observed myself many times. The most generous people I've ever known were dirt poor.
@@orionthehunter217 it is even more complex than that.
Put in :greed (which made the rich even have the mindset to be that rich or increase the possibiliy. Of course there are levels in this).
Levels of knowing what its like to need. Which makes people with less means share more even to strangers not just community.
Tradition and religion is something that plays a role.
And the list goes on.
Have a nice day bro!
I work with Yemeni people, they are the kindest, most humble, hardworking people I’ve ever met. One guy even shared his McDonald’s with me, just because ♥️
Just because one Yemeni did does not mean the rest of Yemenis will. Quit making Yemenis seem like we are the kindest people.. don’t expect that everytime and from every one… 🤓
@@jihanali4828 too bad, already did
Hats off to the resilience of the yemenis. God bless you Nick for this priceless piece of journalism. Kudos for your bravery and selfless work
Thanks for watching!
I grow up with Yemenis they are the most kind people I ever seen
Everyone should stop being surprised people and places are nicer than you thought... humanity is everywhere if you care to look. Love that this channel can show that
Shii in my experience poor ppl usually nicer then rich ppl cuz it makes ppl humble appreciate what they have

Extensive traveling has taught me that, unlike what the media wants us to believe, 99% of the people are good people in any country, even in dirt poor or war thorn places.
What a beautiful country. We (England) must stop the support and aid of this horrific war in Yemen immediately 🇾🇪
I stand with Yemen 🇾🇪 🇾🇪 🇾🇪

@@GreenBloodShorts He probably meant to stop the support to the saudis with weapons and rockets
@@GreenBloodShorts stop to support the war
@@he.lena21 ye but it literally says “we must stop the support”
@@GreenBloodShorts The UK arms industry is one of Saudi Arabia's key suppliers, a lot of these systems are then implemented in Yemen against the Houthi rebels with questionable ethics.

One of my tavel deams was Yemen. The architecture alone is spectacular! Now I'm old and can't travel anymore, so thank you very much for this wonderful series! 🌴
Never too old to travel. They will treat you better as an older person as they respect their elders.
Once the war stops and the airports opens normally, make sure to visit you will never regret it. Yemeni people loves everybody.
Diane I'm Yemeni born in Kenya. If your e scared from visiting Yemen then come to Kenya 😊
@@GhettoArabSageI agree. We as Yemeni people tend to respect our elders very much & I’m proud of that
I LOVE the way this traveler asks open-ended interview questions: "what do you think about..." "anything else you want to say?" "Can you tell me about..." such fantastic and genuine real journalism.
The guy at the juice shop in the Qat market is 100% how everyone is back home. Nick told him “no Arabic” and he simply replied “we didn’t go to school ourselves either” hahahah I love you Yemen.
I spent five months in Sana'a in 2004. Everyone was incredibly friendly. Even those who obviously didn't have much would offer to share with me. I attended multiple weddings, uninvited, and was welcomed every time. Never ever did I feel unsafe. I'm sure it helped that my Arabic was reasonably good, but I don't think it would have made much difference if I didn't speak much Arabic, it just would have made it more difficult to communicate. One time I was approached by a man who was obviously not right mentally, and kept saying something about his uncle, but within maybe 10 seconds, at least five other Yemenis showed up and took him away.
The Yemeni are a beautiful people. The powers that be in the west need to do something to stop the tragedy that is happening there.
I am from Somaliland cross the sea, from aden, i city called berbera in somaliland 150 kl away from. I would love to come to yeman

The west I.e America is largely responsible for this war supplying Saudi Arabia with weapons and assisting them on their genocide of these people.
Well said bro 👏.

This planet is too big for us to be born, live and die in the same spot. Too many fascinating places and people to miss out. Thank you for sharing, mate.
The old buildings in and on the cliffs are really interesting.
Gorgeous!
Spectacular, more like.. ....
not old, its how they build their buildings up to the day
We are a people known for its construction abilities - check out Shebam, towers built over 800year ago.
It's a fact that most of the GCC was built by the Yemeni people
Yemen consists of two Yemens, namely South Yemen, which consists of authentic Arab tribes from which the rest of the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula were formed. South Yemen is the first Arab country to open up to the Western, European and Russian outside world. It is a country with a lot of young cadres open to the outside world. South Yemen is a qualified and valid state to be a state like the rest of the countries that respect the rights of others to life, respect international conventions and preserve international shipping lines. While North Yemen has been a state since its founding, an arbitrary state run by a Zaydi lobby that controls and dominates all levers of power and wealth. North Yemen descended the origins of his sons to the Persians and Abyssinian. North Yemen consists of gypsy tribes that do not respect the rights of others in life and only believe in the logic of wars, murder, looting and intermittent plunder. Since its inception, North Yemen has never sought to be a sovereign state. Rather, the people of North Yemen are divided into three sections as follows: one third of the northern components follow Iran, one third follow Qatar, and the other third are silent. North Yemen is simply a semi-state because its sons are not qualified either scientifically, academically, or culturally. Rather, they do not have the minimum level of basic education. This was the policy of former President Saleh and the Yemeni Congregation for Reform Party (the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen).
South Yemen is like South Korea like life and respect others lives and wanna provide something for the other societies whereas North Yemen like North Korea just like to kill the lives of others and like to fight and make life a piece of hell.
This is the easiest definition from which you can understand the difference between the Two Yemens
You’ve done it again Nick. Taking us where the mainstream doesn’t with another fascinating insight. Blessings to you and the people of Yemen.
Beautiful, thank you, Natalie!
I am Yemeni, born in Saudi Arabia, and I am proud of my beloved country🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪❤️❤️❤️
No matter how hard life can be, people still find a way to exist. The amazing point too is the cheerfulness of the Yemeni people throughout this video that you were able to meet!
God Bless! 👍.
Totally true, Chris!
شكرا لك thanx 🇾🇪
Their faith plays a big role in that
Cheerfulness of Yemeni men, actually. What about women, by the way? Their situation doesn't seem very cheerful. I miss some comments on that.
@@EnriqueGomez-gp9ol Point well taken! I did watch a blog on TH-cam earlier this year on the situation of Yemen. I do not remember the channel, although it was from a lady journalist , and the vlog focused on the younger female generation during this difficult time in Yemen .
Cheers.
The yemeni people want to thank you for being a guest in their country ,and want to thank you for showing the world the beautiful side of it. You are welcome to come anytime ,best of luck .
That means a lot to me. Thank you.

Some time ago, I said "Libya might be your best series yet", and now, the position is already being challenged by this! Loving this series!!! I kinda feel guilty to be watching this in peace at home, while Yemenis are starving, and you risked your life for us.
Thanks for watching my series, means a lot. Glad you are enjoying the videos!
My beautiful country 🇱🇾
Thanks alot for your feelings towards Yemeni's , as a Yemeni person i really felt happy when i read your comment, it's just means a lot for us to know that there are people outside there who knows and maybe cares about our tragedy ♥️♥️♥️✨
I just love the way they say "Alhamdulillah". When asked about their situation.
Me too. Despite the pain and hardship they still give praise to Allah (swt).

Thanks Alexander, appreciate you watching, glad you enjoy the intros! 👊🏼🙏🏼

Hello my dear brother in Yemen, my homeland. I hope you will visit the northern regions and photograph the destruction and crimes committed by the coalition aircraft and spread it to the whole world.
It's extremely beautiful. The Gust house look great. The last seen was incredible. I was little surprised it's safe for foreigners to be there.
Looks beautiful in areas especially the mud huts and canyon. Not better than the Grand Canyon though because that is unspoiled wilderness.
So nice and kind people. Most of us must be incredibly grateful having a chance to live in safe and peaceful countries, to have ability work and support ourselves without fear or uncertainty. Wishing all he best for Yemen and its people
Absolutely beautiful people indeed.
I got goosebumps seeing my hometown Mukalla, it's been 10 years since I left, and wish that one day people can come to visit, well I wish to come and visit with no restrictions. Loved your content as much as I loved how people get to know, see, and love Yemen. I love it to guys, but war is the worst thing any society can experience. Much love!!

My grandmother was from Al-Mukalla, she moved to Saudi Arabia when she was 9 years old. She used to go there every year and when she gets back she would always bring cedar honey which was very rare to find here. I always wanted to visit Yemen but it's difficult due to the current circumstances. This video gave me a perspective of my ancestors hometown! I only wished I'd known what it was like before the war, the Hadrami people were very famous traders and merchants and it's sad to see the reality they're in nowadays. I really loved it, thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I’m really sorry, I wish you good luck and hope you get a chance to visit Yemen
@@shaydicus710 thank you! 🙏
@@Aqq8274 the people of Hadramut were merchants back in her days, so they would move as far as Indonesia and Korea.

This to me is real traveling! Getting to experience the ppl and the country first hand. Not up in a 5 star resort avoiding the reality of the situation around you but really becoming familiar with the culture and it’s ppl! Such a beautiful display of humanity. And what you’re doing will have a greater impact than you will know! Continue to show us we are more alike than different and we appreciate you using this opportunity for the greater good and not just another self absorbed travel vlog!
Agreed. Except travelling and holiday/vacation is different.✌
Risky traveling. Not a vacation spot. A spot to see what's going on
maybe his hotel was just three stars or four.
I find these types of travel channels the most interesting. They go interact with the locals in their natural environment rather than the tourist spots where poverty is kept out of sight. I want to see what life is like for the average person. “Harald Baldr” and “Bald And Bankrupt” are also good travel channels
then go there as a western woman and make a video please
I miss Anthony Bourdain immensely. The only show I enjoyed watching was Parts Unknown but since I have found your channel you're helping with that loss. Keep it up and keep safe!
We miss him too from 🇻🇳✌🏼
i agree
Ever seen “bald and bankrupt” or “Harald baldr” great travel vlogs also
👎
Yes I miss him too. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a book signing years ago while working for a major book store. I wonder if all his travels and seeing the chasm of human suffering contributed to him taking his life?
This was so awe inspiring and palpable. The suffering and pain in these Yemenis faces and words is gut wrenching. I can’t wait for the next one - incredible job, Nick. Well done.
That's not suffering, that's just the qat face 🤣
Ja that is
They are suffering but hopefully one day it’ll be over
I've got friends from Yemen and they're the most kind,honest,loving,caring people's. I love Yemni people's. I'm from Pakistan and Yemen is a beautiful country indeed.

Thank you for visiting my country. I am currently doing a road trip across the U.S. it's always good to see other humans and their culture
This has been utterly fascinating. Amazing how disjointed and wrong the mass media is. What an amazing country and refreshingly free from the modern bullshit we are faced with in an odd way. The people on the whole seem really friendly towards you!
Totally, great people, very op[en and friendly!
Msm is cancer to humanity. It's not there to inform us with honest news. It's there so socially engineer humanity by any means necessary.
I loved your video about Yemen.I am a Brazilian citizen living in Brazil, but this reminds me of a situation that happened to me during my visit to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, in 1992: a young good looking man started a conversation with me and he told me he was from Yemen. Suddenly,he came up with a question that I didn´t have an easy answer at the moment: Why, we yemenis, were forgotten by the other nations of the world? Difficult to answer indeed.....what would you answer him?
When you said salam to the man making smoothies and he couldn’t hear you at first, he responded “yes habibi” and then realized what you said and said it back. So wholesome

I am an Yemeni-Indonesian. My great-grandfather immigrated from Hadhramaut, Yemen in 1900s. It was a great place, but when ottoman empire deteriorate, economy is unstable. My great-grandfather told my father that there was no guarantee you can eat everyday at the time. So he, and many other Yemeni emigrated to around the world, one of the destination is Indonesia (then East Indies). It breaks my heart seeing my ancestral land suffered worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Looking forward to visit Yaman sometime in the future! Great video by the way. ❤️
Quite interesting!
You are our brothers. The south Yemenis, people from Yafai, Aden, Hadramut, and more hate the north. The north, Ibb, Taz, Sanaa have oppressed us from 1994-2012.

I am totally flabbergasted by the beautiful landscape. Just like Iran, etc, you are showing us a total different picture to the one I had in my mind. We are so lucky to have people like you showing the other side of a country and not just the rubbish we are fed through the mainstream media. I really expected Yemen to be this flat landscape - how wrong was my perception! Though your eyes we see the turmoil, but every country you visit has shown us that the general population are good people without hatred towards anyone. They just want to live a normal life in peace and harmony.

Yemen looks like such a fascinating country, I would love to visit! After visiting Honduras last month it opened my eyes to how a country can have such a horrible reputation from the media yet in actuality be a beautiful place with wonderful people
According to oral tradition, my tribe (Bura) in Northeastern Nigeria originated from Yemen. Because of this I have a special place in my heart for Yemen and the people of Yemen. Even though I live in Canada I want to not only visit Yemen but also help women and youth in Yemen. My organization would like to provide school supplies, support young artists (musicians, performers), and provide things that will be useful for women if I have reliable contact(s). Thank you Nick for showing me my ancestral homeland through your amazing ethnographic videos.
@Mr Fantastic I am You can introduce me to a reliable local contact in Yemen.
Apart from my beloved Honduras, I think this is the best trip you have done in regards to informing the world. At least of the trips I’ve seen which is most of them. Absolutely eye opening in every way. The people, landscape, situation, everything is so different than what I expected. You are a ballsy person to be there and I hope you stay safe.
Cheers Dane, much love!

So sad. I lived 7 years in Yemen. I did my undergrad there. It used to be beautiful and peaceful

Incredibly friendly looking people, I hope they can have peace and prosperity as soon as possible
please go there as a western woman, uncovered and see how nice they are
Totally digging these videos. Seeing other parts of the world really changed my life for the better, and watching these videos makes me want to travel to new places again.
I'm not seeing a need to "protect" the usa when it is not being threatened, but yeah, these videos don't make me want to go to 3rd world countries.
@@randomgrinn I’ve been to a lot of developing nations. It inspired my children to do the same. I believe if you wanna know what it means to be an American, go to the places that are put like America at all. It really drives perspective.
excellent translator, captivating video, always come back to it, much love from a Yemeni American🫶
Yemen is a country I want to visit one day! Hopefully by the time that happens the country will be in peace. Such a beautiful place! Love from South-Africa🇿🇦♥️🇾🇪
I hope you get to visit on day, Jan :)
If you manage living in SA I'm sure you'll be fine...
"Wow Yemen lot of ancient heritage, culture and values. Keep safe and safe my dear friend of Yemeni . Soon I bring my love and soul my belove Yemen". Love from Philippines.
Much love!
تحية لك ولشعب الفلبين الصديق من اليمن
Hi Nick,
My family left Yemen for Israel in 1949-50. They are from Shar'ab county in the Taiz governorate (in the middle of the road between Aden to Sana'a). I grew up with many of their stories and memories that made me long for a country I had never been to before. So whenever someone visits the old country and shares impressions, I get very excited. Thank you.
I recently finished writing a fiction novel about Yemen in 1947. In one of the chapters, I write about Mukalla. The city that you have just visited. I wasn't surprised when one of the shopkeepers told you that he wants the British to come back. The sultans of Qu'ati - the state of the city of Mukalla - admired the British culture and tried to bring it to their territory.
As for the language, the Yemenis don't use much "Shukran" to say thank you. Instead, they bless you. Notice that during your visit to the market, they replied to your "Shukran" with "(Allah) Yandilak alAfi'ya" - may God give you health - or "Hayak" - to your life.
I look forward to the rest of your journey in Yemen. I hope it will be most enjoyable and go smoothly. Stay safe.
When is your novel coming out? Will you publish it?
@@nataschalia I'm looking for an agent now. Thank you for asking.
Wow. Your videos on Yemen bring tears to my eyes. The land of my people. Thank you so much for making them.
You do a great job at respecting and being kind to the people you meet. Nice of you to put music to the hip hop dancers and bring that to life.
dude his smile at 10:33 hits different. The joy he felt just by being filmed.
So cute
I was in Yemen in 1995, and the people were wonderful. Having purchased lots of items at a small supermarket I was chased down the streets, four blocks, because I had dropped my shopping list and they thought it may be important to me. Gotta love that. The people impressed me with their honesty and generosity, it was infectious. I saw many bullet holes and rocket holes in buildings and vehicles from the war a year earlier. Some lamented the bars from when the British times. The Russians had been there too, but seemed to be universally hated. Soviet monuments in a small square had been contemptuously ripped down. A local market sold an array of washing machine parts, electric motors that had many other uses. Fresh oranges and vegetables were on sale too along with guns. It was a fascinating place but I will never forget the people. Wonderful people. I hope this war ends soon and that they can have a bright future. I don’t know the politics there, but they generally fuck everything up. Peace be with you people of Yemen, I fell in love with you and grieve for your misfortunes. Shukran.
For me, Yemen is the most attractive Arab country to visit. Very authentic, with honest people. May Allah bless you!!!❤
he landscapes are impressive, the antibodies they have developed are exceptional :)) to live in such filth, women like messianic apparitions not worthy of being seen or named. a male, barbaric, ignorant country.
So glad that I watched this video. The people of Yemen seem so wonderful and kind. This has really enlightened me. May the people of Yemen find a last peace and happiness in their country. May the Yemenese find prosperity as well!!!
I love the humanity his videos bring out. Some of the happy stills he got should be in magazines. Just beautiful. It goes to show how people survive and find the hood in all situations and it’s a shame these people are in this situation. But they have a beautiful country and I pray they find peace soon.
I've been watching your videos for a couple years now and fell in love with so many countries and yemen is one of them what an amazing country and I pray the future is bright for the amazing Yemeni people. I've really enjoyed this series so far (as I do every series) nick looking forward to the next one. As always take care and stay safe mate
Thanks Darren! Always appreciate seeing your name in the comments and your feedback!
@@IndigoTraveller glad you appreciate my feedback nick :) take care and stay safe buddy
I really appreciate this video and I pray for the people who are suffering and yet remain strong and friendly.
As a Yemeni, I really appreciate what you are doing to show the world these peculiar spectacular vlogs
Thank you Hamza!
As a foreigner I can say these videos brings people together, from all over the World.
The media is showing only wars, we need a lot more videos like these, to show also the good people, the real people.
You did a great job of capturing the other side of Yemen, away from the media, where we can hear the people's stories. Great camera shots too. Keep up the good work Nick (which is such a good name) 👍🇾🇪
Thank you Nick ;)
Perfect Sunday! Afternoon coffee which I am drinking slowly to the next Nick’s Yemeni episode :)
Enjoy guys, much appreciation for the support!
Are you in the UK/Europe ?
this is where my family is from, last time I went I was a kid don't remember much. but this made me feel sad annoyed and disappointed at the same time.
any help to support the country would be appreciated. this is something no human would wish on his country
Looking forward to this episode, last weeks was brilliant!
Cheers, Aaron, hope you enjoy it!
Very humble people. I hope their situation improves and they are rewarded for enduring.
I love how some of these fallen countries still have amazing communities uniting them together i their tough times and we dont know where they would be without them, i wish we had communities like that in the uk, us and other countries, we should be grateful we have good lives. And i like how people take thr most positive stuff out of these countries, hopefully their lives get better🙏😁
I love yemen ,i hope to vesit yemen one day thank you from Algeria
It’s so amazing that you went there. There’s always a misconception about Yemen being dangerous, when in reality it’s just the media portraying that image. I always have to explain my country’s situation to so many people here in the states because their always assuming the worst. Next time you visit Yemen, make sure to visit my hometowns Sana’a and Rada’a :) You won’t regret it… I’ll give you a free tour hahah
Tv and mainstream media is cancer. Not just here in the States, but around the world. Wish people would quit letting the tv shape their views and opinions.
to be fair anywhere having a civil war is 'dangerous', hell, there are places in America i wouldn't go as a tourist and call dangerous.
I am also from Sanaa😁 I think it would have been better if he had visited the city of Sana'a, the city of Ibb
@@REMIX-jw7ew guys don't be seeley how we can protect him
I was in Yemen when it was safe. Incredibly fascinating country with super people. It really breaks my heart to see it today. Glad at least some of it is peaceful. Even in peace, there were lots of check points but now is really insane. Life was never easy there, but now! Excellent videos. You really capture Yemen. I look forward to the next ones!
You must have been there more than 15 yrs ago.👀
@@planetguantanamo2978 yes, 1988!! A brief interlude of peace in the far north.
Very great content but I think he did capture just a part of Yemen because there are infinitesimal other interesting events taking place simultaneously in other places on earth. However all people thrive to survive. amazingly busy all things flow.
@@planetguantanamo2978 1988
The guys dancing!!! 😍their skills are so good!! They dance with passion, makes me so happy!!!!
I watched this because i am looking for a yemeni cute guy i met in qatar. We’ve been more than a friend. I’m still looking for him.🥺
