The best way (and cheapest) to travel around Sana'a is to hop a debub... a small minivan that acts like a bus. They are about 20 rials a ride which is about 10 cents USD!

dress up in a conservative and decent way, you don't have to wear a headscarf but do it just to show respect because you're in a very traditionalized place, don't wear tank tops!

When buying things...HAGGLE HAGGLE HAGGLE! Never settle for the price that someone gives you. They'll think you're strange if you don't. And if they seem really insistant on the price, walk away...they'll rethink and call you back if they think they're going to lose the sale.

Open ur eyes, ears, mind and heart and u'll be fine... great ppl there!

Ching Sing is a really great Chinese restaurant. The appearance is nothing special, but the food is great and cheap. My favorite is the squid in chili sauce.

Make sure you know before you go: the summer months are extremely hot so be prepared to head out early to see the sights or start late, like around 5pm!

sana'a is one of the best places to study arabic! it's also one of the most beautiful and amazing capitals in the world - it's beyond description

After 3 months without any fast food, I nearly swooned when I saw a KFC in the capitol of Yemen. It cost a fortune and was worth it! : )
