Yemen in a desert country located on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. With the exception of the costal plains in the west, Yemen is continuously elevated with high and dry mountains having jagged peaks and plateaus covering most of the country.

Yemen has no permanent rivers, but the highland regions are interspersed with several seasonal river valleys, called 'Wadi,' that remain dry in the winter months. The most notable among these are Wadi Hadhramaut and Wadi Dawan, in eastern and central Yemen.
