Thanks for watching!
Love you, Yemen 🇾🇪
please do not stop and try to get to Sana'a if you can.
I love all of your travel series. Thank you for showing great respect. ❤️❤️❤️
you are allways wellcome in yemen
Thanks
@@decafog3207 the way to Sanaa is realy dangerous .
Kais was our fixer in 2018. As we were 2 women, he had many challenges helping us to see the raw beauty and meet a wonderful family. We had to drive in and out and stay hidden at that time. Kais was a true gentleman and continues to be a friend and family member in our hearts. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. Yemen is full of wonder and great people.
Thank you for sharing* I did wonder whilst watching , how it would be for women to travel though these beautiful lands*
I am amazed you went as women. I wish some mention of women's lives were made in these videos.
@@armondlevinia9221 I agree. We spent time with some of the women. They were wonderful people with big hearts. We had met woman a refugee that was not, as well. We also observed some village women that were the workforce in the fields, fully covered, including their hands. We were covered for safety. We have videos of this experience we have not shared. But Krystal shared some of our experiences on UA-cam. The history and the present life there are valuable to be aware of in my opinion.
Yeah I can see that being a challenge but that’s awesome you got to go!
Thanks for sharing Sandra. That sounds amazing! I was wondering how Yemen would be for women to travel to.
Your fixer seems like such a nice guy, he's an absolute legend for making this all possible.
100%
Except when he talks about the rights of all human beings [human rights] an episode after saying Sadam Hussein was a great man. Call me a little skeptical.
He is a North Yemeni bloke. Even his dress sense is Northern. Not like us the Southerners
@@philiphied
Cuz the North Yemenis are Sadam mad
@@jasonsellers320 which perspective justifies hanging, burning and gassing of innocent women and children again?
I am from Hadramaut Yemen known as " the city of entrepreneurs" I lived in Sanaa city from 2000 to 2011. If I tell you what my life was like in Yemen back then you will think am lying. believe it or not, Sanaa had a lot of expats, most of my friends were half Yemeni half American, Canadian, & European. we did a lot of fun things back then, we would go rock climbing, skateboarding, arranging sports events between our schools, & hang out almost every day at different coffee shops. I learned 70% of my English just by chilling with my friends and watching WWE Lol. The city was so safe that sometimes I would walk back home at 2 AM with zero fear.
The stories are endless of what I saw in Yemen, I remember seeing an old caucasian couple living in the old city in Sanaa for years considering it as their retirement home. and I remember a group of divers going to one of the islands in Hodeidah just to dive there, I also remember a team of professional rock climbers from France, they came to climb in the Sanna mountains and they invited us to join them for an easy climb. I absolutely love everything about being Yemeni apart from having a Yemeni passport haha.
It's just heartbreaking what is happing to my people, if you only know how sweet Yemenis are, let me give you an example if you ever had a flat tire I guarantee you everyone passing by will stop and FORCE their help.
I wanna thank you for your effort during this series, only God and Yemenis know what you needed to go through to shoot those videos, you made me reminisce about the old days and broke my heart as well in a good way. PEACE BE WITH YOU.
Just incredible. Thank you for sharing this 💚
How over you should show all the people what is good for your country , laa tthaor yaa ammi ok
Please tell your people about Bitcoin! If you personally don’t know much about Bitcoin (because it is still a young technology) please spend about 10 hours reading about Bitcoin and make your own opinions. It could help Yemen a lot in the long run.
@@MeineFreiheit420 f Bitcoin shady business with no money value. Just a scam to Rob people of their money thru crooked schemes. It used to be pyramid scheme years ago, and now is Bitcoin.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼❤️. God bless you, and the Yemeni people. Love from America
I love these one-on-one interviews the most; such a raw and real peak into the reality of countries like Yemen, not just the media spouting off whatever the most triggering talking points are.
AMB, BABB prepare to launch new financial service in Yemen. Al-Amal Microfinance Bank and UK-based Babb Remit signed a partnership agreement to provide digital financial services aimed at increasing financial inclusion in Yemen
Why I like Babb because they can offer an account for someone who has no residence (registered address), no passport, no ID, no driver's license and I guess no birth certificate, such people are not can get a bank account or a loan because they are not in the system.
I agree … it’s humanizing. It connects you in a way mainstream media can’t
Lmao sure. You're just using this to redirect traffic to your own UA-cam channel.
Cool seeing you here, I watch your channel and your girls channel as well. I absolutely love Nick and all his travels as he shows the real world from the real world.
Nick, Yemen did not capture your heart only but also mine as well, I felt a tinge of sadness though that the Yemen series has drawn to an end for now, but I would by this token take the opportunity to express my absolute respects to Kais who is a true gentleman and a charismatic person full of wisdom, and to the wonderful people of Yemen. God bless Yemen and may peace come very soon to this most beautiful of countries and to a people who are truly beyond great.
Thank you Jehad! Much love and appreciation. Kais made the trip what it was.
Ameen
Yes, I am in tears as well after watching this last episode. Really went straight into my heart/ soul Jehad..
As a Yemeni .. I really enjoyed all these wonderful episodes you’ve made with all the truthful emotions you shared .. I hope that one day you make PART-2 of this series to observe the beauty of the rest areas of the country .. I’m glad that you enjoyed .. wish Yemen all the bright future .. Shokran ❤️
Thank you Ali! I too hope to return!

Oh no! I was hoping for more Yemen episodes. That was so quick!
Thanks mate, I hope to return!
He did not get the permission to go down South
@@spidyman8853 he was in the south this whole series actually. It’s the north he didn’t have permission to go too
@@AirRamo
Yes I know. I meant to say he did not get permission to go further down to Aden city
You know the amount of check points and what have you.
Long live the South
Been watching you for a while and just wanted to say you've grown a lot as a creator and you can really see you try to promote these people and their countries to dispel myths. I love it and keep going.
Thank you, Wareen. Means a lot!
I'm from Yemen, and I am very happy that you visited my country, and showed the simple truth of Yemen from the inside, unlike the false media,
thank you so much.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed travelling to Yemen vicariously through you.
Can’t wait to see and witness your next adventures Nick.
Travel safely wherever you are headed 👏🏻🇬🇧
Thank you Jo!
You are very lucky to have Kais with you during your Yemen trip. He's a very smart, passionate and kind guy. This series is one of the most amazing videos I have seen this year. Thank you so much for this!
Much love, thank you. And Kais is great!
I loved this series on Yemen. It really brought back memories. I was fortunate to live there for two years, twenty years ago. I traveled everywhere. I hope you get to revisit Yemen because there is loads of history in towns like Marib and Jibla and, of course, the old city in Sana'a.
Absolutely, so much to see!
Were you at the hospital in Jibla? So many kind people there.
I think I advise you to visit Sana'a in northern Yemen after Sanaa is liberated from Al Houthi because he is a terrorist organization. We are afraid of a crime against you as well. He hates America and wishes him death and destruction.
@@mariaalmasani I am from Jableh and our house is close to the hospital. There were many doctors , only a few of them remain. Did you work in this hospital?
Been looking forward to this all week!!!
Hope you’ll enjoy:)
Beautiful job, Nick and helpers. Empowering words by Jordan at the end of the video, and such a good reminder of what all these travels teach us. 🌻
❤️
I was waiting for this episode and got sad when I realized it's the last about Yemen, great story indeed, Thanks Nick
Thank you
This has been my favorite series. Your guide, your questions. Everything you have showed us is an absolute gem.
Great series... can't wait to see where you go next!
The Heart of Yemen are lost for a years to love each others. But the memory of past are the foundation of being strong Yemeni. Much love from Philippines

Brilliant series. Just loved seeing and feeling the warmth of the gorgeous Yemeni people. A treat on so many levels. Thank you so much for putting this series together! 🙏🏻
This has been a really good series. Thanks a lot for making it.
Cheers James!
Was waiting for your new video. One of the best series of yours✨
Appreciate that!
Thanks for the Yemen series.
I appreciate the culture and People of this country.
Praying for Peace and better future in Yemen. Inshallah ♥
Much love l!
@@IndigoTraveller what's your opinion about iran?
Thank you, welcome to Yemen one day 😊❤️🇾🇪
Thanks very much we to ❤️
Beautiful series, I was hoping for a lot
Loved this series,seeing Yemen through different eyes.
Kais is a great character
Been watching your channel for many years. Having said that, loved this series as it showed a lot that we don't really see in media. Thanks much!
Thank you Jayanta!
Thank you So much for taking us along* I loved this journey*
Amazing work as always. Look forward to these dropping every Sunday
I’m so glad I found your channel! 3 years ago my daughter was a couple of days old and I was doing the millionth night feed in one night and I stumbled across your first Chernobyl series whilst in a UA-cam rabbit hole. I’ve been hooked ever since! ❤️ Much love from the UK
Amazing, thank you for sticking with me!
Really remarkable trip, Nick! So excellent. Way back in the mid-1990s, there were a lot of international students preparing for university in the U.S. from Yemen. I often wonder what became of the students I taught back then, who’d be in their 40s and 50s now. I’m so happy to have seen more of Yemen through this series. It’s a really beautiful place with beautiful people. Thanks for revealing it to us. Be well. 🙏💛
Absolutely amazing series filled with amazing people. Kais was an absolute legend and a magnificent translator. God bless him and God bless Yemen.
This was such an amazing series! Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you again for the rare insights Nick, one of the first times I've come across the video before an Insta post!
Legend, thank you!
thanks for the adventures cuzzy, you kept me sane all year while locked in my house in melbourne. great work shining a light on so many kind souls holding it together in such adverse conditions. kais is a legend! blessings on your continued explorations \,,/
Much love mate, love to aus!
Peter, mad respect for you for sharing this.
Your guide seems like an amazing guy.
Yet another brilliant Series... Absolutely loved it thoroughly, Thank you so much Nick, Happy Travelling and cant wait already for your next adventure!
What a great journey we had with you, thank you very much for putting out these videos
❤️🇾🇪
what's stopping you? I went back in 2020 no probs what so ever.
I went to the South 😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@spidyman8853 Most of my family live in the north and it's hard to get there
Also it's so expensive to travel at this time especially with 5 family members
Love how you travel keep the videos coming 🥰🥰🥰
Much love!
Another epic series from you, mate. Thank you for sharing it. My continued sharing of your work with all of my classes shall continue.
Take care and stay safe. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Great content Nick! Your videos always seems to put my own problems into perspective. Thank you for your informative videos. We enjoy watching and discussing them.
Loved the landscape in Yemen and the way you spliced in shots of some of the more large and mesmerizing rock structures that surrounded these towns and cities.
As a Yemeni just want to say thank you. Beautiful and heartbreaking to watch. Yemenis are the kindest people and now that I no longer live in Yemen I miss that. It’s sad that Yemen has become a battlefield for a proxy war between other countries.
Some of the best content on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Adam!
Definitely an amazing trip, Yemen really surprised me and Kais was awesome!
I really liked that courageous tour guide, he deserves all the happiness in this universe and may the good Lord protect him in that harsh environment 🙏🙏. And you Nick I can't wait to drive you around the Pearl of Africa uganda 🇺🇬 God willing 😊🤩🤩 God bless you as well ❤️
Thank you Daniel, much love!
Thank you very much for showing my country this way! 🇾🇪
I watched all of your episodes in Yemen with a tear in my cheeks but I was laughing at the same time seeing my people being funny and kind, Kais was a great guider actually! Thanks again! 😊
Amazing series man!
Thanks for sharing your Yemen adventures! Looking forward to your next location of video series!
Great series,hopefully one day you ll come back to explore the rest of the country
Me too! ❤️🇾🇪

I will miss seeing more of Yemen and so appreciate you Nick, You are such an Admirable Person And Many Blessings To You Always, Wendy
Thank you Wendy ❤️
Amazing series mate, love all of your work.
Absolutely loved the series!
Kais is amazing, so intelligent with his translating ability, cool, collected and calm. Just the person you want to be guiding you around a country foreign to you. Don't get me started on Jordan.. his reflections on having the mindset of understanding your neighbours regardless of geographical location is profound in its simplicity! They say you attract what you are, it seems you have shown your character through your friends. Great video and thank you!
Awesome series of Yemen, Nick!!!! Can I just say, Yemen has definitely got one of the most interesting places so far, and one of my most favourite places that you have visited throughout these episodes would definitely be Shibam, with its ancient mud buildings, its nice views of the mountains and pretty much everything. Really cool indeed!!!! Alot of these places in Yemen are so picturesque and they are definitely a worth visit indeed. But yeah, like as always, awesome episode Nick and keep up with the awesome work!!!! :D
What a beautiful series. I had no idea what Yemen was like and my heart goes out to these people and their struggles. Kais is an amazing and interesting person that made this series so excellent. Thank you and Kais!
Great content dude! I remember finding this channel a year or 2 back, and this Yemen series is awesome! Keep up the great work and stay safe
Excellent series, thank you so much for opening both my eyes and my heart to the Yemeni people ….
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
How did you come to be named "Thailand"?
LOVE THE VIDEO!! What a beautiful place, the buildings are amazing, I really like the cameraman view just go to the next neighborhood and be nice and try to get to know others, and always be respectful!!
Stay safe Nick !!
Cheers JJ!
Thanks Nick. Safe travels wherever you may go. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Yemen through you.
Yes! New upload! Thank you for another great series.
Thanks Kris!
as a Yemeni girl, I've enjoyed watching this series, and I hope you can come bake again soon in a better situations that allow us to having you in Sana'a, Aden and Taiz.
Good wishes Yemen and it's people🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've really enjoyed this series of videos👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for your great efforts to share the thoughts of some Yemeni people.
Pease and love to Yemen❤🌺
Much love!
Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight from Ontario, Canada. I really enjoyed this video series. How wonderful to see this part of the world and the lovely people in it. So sad what they have to endure. I really appreciated how respectful you were to everyone. Going to watch more of your videos. Thanks and God bless.
So glad to have found you ! I really enjoy your videos! Thanks 🙏
So thankful you did this. I've always wanted to visit Yemen because of the history. I hope things get better for the people. Hopefully, one day it'll be safe again for Americans to visit so we can learn more about the people of Yemen and share our lives, culture, and ideas.
You are such a g. I would love to visit I’m so jelly. Also, I have loved watching your intro edits evolve. Truly amazing shots you should be extremely proud.
Thank you so much!
@@IndigoTraveller✌️👍🏻👍🏻
Wow !! Big thank you 🙏 appreciate this amazing travel log series!! Very rare Yemeni Videos:)
Your videos are so eye opening. I really enjoy sharing them with my youngest daughter, she is kind of my shadow, and she really is amazed at what she has been seeing. Thank you so much and safe travels!
I travelled to Yemen thanks to you!! I mean that your videos revealed the reality of Yemen!! Greetings from Greece!!
Love to Greece!
@@IndigoTraveller thanks!!! Hope you come by one day!
Amazing video once again. Thanks Nick, Jordan, Kais, the Yemeni people. Love to 🇾🇪 from 🇺🇸, love to see 🇾🇪 rising very soon. Bil tawfiq ✌🏻
Much love mate !
Thanks for the interview bro 🤩
You're a legend brother, thanks for everything!
Your welcome bro any time.
Awesome series! Thank you for opening up my mind.
Sad that UA-cam felt the closed captions needed to be so censored. The thing I love most about these videos is how raw and open they are. There shouldn’t be censorship on something like this
UA-cam was the one censoring? It’s so strange, why would they do that?
As someone that may never be able to travel to these countries in my life time, even though I’d love to, as the places you have been, have had amazing hospitality. I want to say thank you and I have greatly enjoyed watching your videos for a few years. Stay safe sir and keep showing us all the true love that cultures have for foreigners.
Thank you very much.
Great trip, thank you for sharing it with us. Cant wait for next episodes. Good luck, stay safe and all the best…
I press the like button even before the video starts as l know the quality lm about to watch, it’s that good and so informative. Great honest journalism from a superb journalist that exceeds anything on YT - again Nick thanks for taking me there with you.
First I would like to Thank the good people of Yemen for your kindness, and to also Thank Kais for taking good care of Nick and his friend while getting to know your country a little better. Thanks Nick for taking us along, hope to see you soon.
❤️
I am from Yemen and I have been watching your videos and from the first day I knew you were going to like it , there’s a lot more beautiful places to go to , and more kind and generous people to meet . I been in multiple countries and Yemen is the most peaceful country …..
Thanks to you for making people to see the real side of Yemen. hope to see you again there
I wish you luck and fun for your upcoming trips.
Thank you very much!
Be proud to be a Yemeni citizen. I visited your country and found only courtesy, welcome, great hospitality and a high self-respect. Values that are not to be found in most rich western countries. Best wishes for your future. From Italy.
Love your videos. The people you meet are so interesting, clever, insightful.☝🏽
Another Great Series!!! Thank you for letting me see the world through your camera lens!
Again was waiting with a cup off Coffee for a new awakening video off you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love to meet you in real! 👍👍❤
Still showing reality to the world out of the usual press!!!!!! 👍👍👍
AS IT IS!!!❤❤❤❤
your a man off my heart! 👍👍👍👍
Please keep up the good work! 😁
Much love ❤️
As always Nick, I applaud your effort to bring the voice of the people of these countries forward and above mainstream. I admire your courage to go above and beyond. I told my husband that you remind me of the Steve Irving of traveling. Lol
You need a Q&A video again because I would love to hear about which country you love the most and which one you feel has the most issues as a visitor
Thanks so much, really appreciate your support! I do a Q and A on my patreon every so often :) ❤️
Remember this is only the voice of the MALE people. Not the whole picture at all. It's like only asking the husband if the marriage is good while the wife is not allowed to be seen or heard
.
@@sharonh7485 well to be fair he literally isn't allowed to speak to women there, look at how they dressed
Love your content Nick, keep up the good work. Bless
Incredible. Thanks for sharing your trip!
Loved this story
❤️
As a Jewish Yemenite woman, thank you so much for taking this trip and letting me see parts of Yemen I will most likely not ever see. one thing that struck me is the huge absence of women. besides the obvious facts, how come you could not mention anything about the way they live?
Yemen people are so heart-filled and warm and welcoming it's in our blood.
Same thoughts here... What about the women?
I thought the same. How come not even a comment about women?
The women in Yemeni culture usually would not show up on UA-cam or even tall to random people it has some religious motivate as well
But the women life is on its hardest times in Yemen what you saw is the safe area of the country camper to the rest the people are way better than the people who live in not safe areas
If a woman goes there she would be able to connect with Yemeni women
Same thoughts. I think there was an agreement not to even mention women, who were photographed only occasionally from very far away.
This guide made a whole difference in this series! Great job!
Definitely, thank you!
I love watching Nicks videos. Really informative and eye opening. keep it up!! 🔥🔥🔥
I am impressed you went to Yemen, it looks like you found an amazing guide. I am quite sad you never got to North Yemen. As the area not colonised by the UK, it retained much of it's culture, history and architecture. The landscape, food, people, everything is different. I fully understand, given who is in charge there but in the future hopefully, I hope you visit it too.
as I live in Taiz ( located in the western side of Yemen) the city that has been suffering for almost 7 years, thank you for showing me the other part of my country!!! And, yes, I promise there is a lot more to see in Yemen. I genuinely hope that everything gets better cuz minority of ppl here deserve not a better life but a normal life. hopefully see you when Yemen is “ normal” love ya!!!🤓
brilliant series nick as usual thank you so much again
Another great series. Thank you for showing us what an amazing country Yemen is.
I absolutely loved this series. There is something I wish you would have at least touched on, though. That is the experiences of different women in Yemen. Even the ability of women to travel to Yemen.
Not a single woman was interviewed. Whether that be by the choice of the women or because of the dynamics of the culture there, who knows. Because it wasn’t spoken of.
It should also be mentioned that you were able to get through the loopholes to travel there as a man, but a woman would potentially not have the ability to do so and may have very different concerns.
The people of Yemen aren’t just the men of Yemen.
In Yemen, the culture does not allow much interaction between men and women. Nick interviewing a regular Yemeni woman would be a serious faux pas in such a country. Actually, women tourists in Yemen often have an easier experience as they are often not questioned by security people and can use traditional clothing to make it less apparent that they are foreigners. Many women have travelled to yemen as tourism recently and many positive experiences from them!
@@ausboh652 your response highlights what my general point was.
Hi there. I tried everyday to interview woman but it wasn’t possible unfortunately. Secondly, it is 100% possible to travel to Yemen as a woman and I know several who have. Thank you for watching.
He could have interviewed that waitress in Seiyun's restaurant, I know her personally and she doesn't mind to be interviewed with her burka.
In a city like Aden, then, Yes, you will see Women being interviewed.
However, in this clip shown, they are out in the sticks and the norms and values are more conservative shall we say.
I’ve been with you a long time, I think your biggest asset to UA-cam; videos are educational, towards helping the world understand, the life of every destination, Power to the People 👊, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, Belus
Thanks for the long time support Belus, you’re a true hero!
Nice one bro, good doco.
Thanks Guys, so interesting/informative.
Yemen consists of two Yemens, namely South Yemen, which consists of authentic Arab tribes from which the rest of the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula were formed. South Yemen is the first Arab country to open up to the Western, European and Russian outside world. It is a country with a lot of young cadres open to the outside world. South Yemen is a qualified and valid state to be a state like the rest of the countries that respect the rights of others to life, respect international conventions and preserve international shipping lines. While North Yemen has been a state since its founding, an arbitrary state run by a Zaydi lobby that controls and dominates all levers of power and wealth. North Yemen descended the origins of his sons to the Persians and Abyssinian. North Yemen consists of gypsy tribes that do not respect the rights of others in life and only believe in the logic of wars, murder, looting and intermittent plunder. Since its inception, North Yemen has never sought to be a sovereign state. Rather, the people of North Yemen are divided into three sections as follows: one third of the northern components follow Iran, one third follow Qatar, and the other third are silent. North Yemen is simply a semi-state because its sons are not qualified either scientifically, academically, or culturally. Rather, they do not have the minimum level of basic education. This was the policy of former President Saleh and the Yemeni Congregation for Reform Party (the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen).
South Yemen is like South Korea like life and respect others lives and wanna provide something for the other societies whereas North Yemen like North Korea just like to kill the lives of others and like to fight and make life a piece of hell.
This is the easiest definition from which you can understand the difference between the Two Yemens
One of these days we will all quit fighting each other and start fighting our true enemy, our government. I can only hope to achieve a loving environment with my brothers and sisters. The government pits us against each other to keep the pressure off them. Thanks Nick you do a great job of vocalizing these people.
Which government? The Yemeni government ? Which one, North or South?
Absolutely.
Statism is the most dangerous religion, and most people in the world including in Yemen are practicing it.
@@willard39 All governments in the world.
@@willard39 I’m speaking of the United States myself but as I look around it seems to be all governments. I don’t care where you’re from I have respect for you and your struggle. Everyone has trials and tribulations but the government seems to magnify the struggle due to authoritarian regimes.
Thank you for your visit to my country of Yemen. I enjoyed watching your trip
Awesome series. This guide took you under his wings like a brother...
