Can tourists go skiing in Yemen?

score:5

Accepted answer

No.

The highest mountain in Yemen (and the entire Arab peninsula) is Jabal an Nabi Shu'aib, and is 3666 metre high. Citing Wikipedia:

Although the summit is not snow-capped like its counterparts in northern Lebanon and Syria, there have been reports of snow on the peak and frost in the winter is there daily.

In other words, even at the highest point in Yemen snow is not ubiquitous. Therefore, there is no outdoor snow-skiing tourist industry in Yemen.
