Al Ghaydah is the capital of Al Mahrah, the far-eastern governorate of Yemen, on the Arabian Sea coast close to the border with Oman. It is a remote provincial town in a sparsely populated desert-and-coast region, historically linked to the frankincense trade and the wider Mahri culture, and worlds away from Yemen's better-known highland cities. Before considering any travel here, note the essential context: Yemen is subject to the strongest travel warnings from virtually every government due to armed conflict, and most advise against all travel to the country. This page is informational only. If you are researching Al Mahrah, rely on your government's current travel advice and official sources rather than treating the region as an open destination, as the situation changes and access is heavily restricted.
