Due to its strategic location on some of the world’s most lucrative trade routes, the country – in particular the southern region – became one of the wealthiest in the world. The flourishing economy was further fueled by trading in highly sought after Arabian horses and the world’s finest frankincense. For nature lovers, there are white sandy beaches that extend as far as the eye can see, often modulating into shimmering golden sand dunes surrounding refreshing oases that are a welcome surprise to the wandering traveller.
