Cruises to Aden, Yemen
Port description
Aden is a city which thrives with history. Probably one of the more unusual port towns in Yemen, it is founded out of the crater of an extinct volcano, and its different suburbs are found in a number of sub-craters. This fascinating background has led to a city of culture and colour today, rich with Aden’s historical past but looking towards the future, Aden makes an interesting stop off on a cruise holiday, or can be reached by plane from London in just over 7 hours.
Typical Excursion
Aden’s turbulent political past has left the city with a number of sights of interest to history-loving holidaymakers. Explore the revolution of the city’s crater origins at the Cisterns of Tawila, an ancient water-catchment system located in the city’s foundations. The Palace of the Sultanate is a stunning building and doubles up as Yemen’s National Museum. It’s well worth a visit to soak up the grand architecture of the palace as well as learn about Aden’s intriguing history. Another cultural must is The Rimbaud House, home to the British poet. The Aden Minaret is a great example of traditional architecture, and Sira Fort is a historic military site, which, despite being built in the 1100s, is still used by the Yemeni army today.
