Welcome to The Yemen Journey!

We are a Yemen-based company dedicated to connecting Yemen to the world. We source unique handmade products from farmers and artisans from all corners of Yemen, and export these to retailers internationally, thereby offering the world a taste and a handful of Yemen’s flavors and beauty, meanwhile bringing income and hope to farmers and artisans in one of the world’s most isolated countries.

Take a tour on our site and explore a wide range of unique handcrafts such as alabaster lamps, lanterns, baskets, silver jewelry and more, as well as our green coffee beans – all single sourced micro lots directly from selected farms in Sa’ada and Haraz. In our journal and videos you can learn more about specific products, the art of the craft as well as join us on our journey to bring Yemen to the world.

Yemen is known for political turmoil, armed conflict and a large humanitarian crisis. But beneath the headlines lie an ancient country and culture, incredibly rich in traditions, hospitality and resilience. From the mountainous highlands, where Yemen’s traditional gingerbread houses rise to the sky overlooking valleys of coffee and fruit terraces, to the coastal plains where fishermen stem out in their small fishing dhows, bringing back large tunas, shrimps and crabs from the rich blue waters that surround it, Yemen is a country largely living, producing and breathing as it has for centuries.

The handcraft of Yemeni lanterns | Video 01

Yemen Journey artisan Khaled Yahya invites you on a journey from design to the final making of the famous Yemeni brass and fabric lantern. The production of the widely celebrated and loved Yemeni lantern came to a half as Yemen experienced isolation and conflict, leaving the producers without customers - meanwhile bringing the price of the raw materials up. The Yemen Journey design team has revived the production of the lanterns with artisans from the Sana'a Old City, and collaborated with silversmiths in introducing new invigorating designs as well as the integration with solar lamps.

Join us on a trip through the Old City and see how the beautiful lanterns are created
