Yemeni society is a very conservative society it’s the mix of two (Muslim-Arabic) traditions.
All Yemeni people are Muslims and we have some Yemeni Jews here and there (and we don’t hurt them ok…!).
Every part of Yemen have there own traditions and style of life and I’ll try to talk about them (but hey I’m not an expert I’m just trying to give you more info about my country).
North part of Yemen traditions differ from south part, in the north the tribe is main thing and loyalty to the tribe is the most important thing, although most people don’t care much about that anymore but they consider it an important tradition and some tribes are famous than other so as you can see it’s all a matter of pride and who is famous and so on.
Famous tribes of the north are like (Hashid, Bakeel….there a lot actually but those two are the most famous).
But there are some cities of the north like (Taiz , Ib ) who don’t care much about the tribe and where are you from.
In the south in cities like (Aden, Al-Mukalla) people forgot all about tribes pride and all stuff related to that 100 years ago, they do know where they are from and every body sticks to his/her roots but it’s not a big deal anymore.
Ok the END, yes I know this in not enough I promise I’ll write more & more.

It's a lot already - thanks so much! You tell things which are totally new to me and I enjoy reading about them!
it seems to me the north and south are totally different with the first being more conservative and the latter more progressive ... am I off? Honour and dignity seem to be most important ... I wish around here MANY more people would consider that!!
Thamood - please do NOT feel obligated to write about your country only because I like it ... NOOOOOOO!!
Feel free to write what you like ... I'll come over to visit this way or the other!! :)
