Hotels und hostels in Yemen
All places for accommodation - from budget to five star hotel - are called Funduq or Funduk in Arabic. Specially in the countryside of Yemen, you may find hostels or rest houses with simple and clean sleeping places. Only sleeping bags should be provided by the travelers themselves. This so-called funduqs by foreign travel guides are local houses with rooms equipped with mattresses and shared WC/Shower on each floor. The cuisine is very good. You will find them mostly in the mountain area of Yemen. Therefore the locations are good starting points for trekking tours.
