Al Hudaydah Governorate
Al Hudaydah Governorate, Administrative division along the Red Sea coast, Yemen.
Al Hudaydah is an administrative region in western Yemen along the Red Sea coast. It comprises multiple districts with varied communities and landscapes that extend from the shoreline into inland areas.
The region developed as an important trade route between Africa and Arabia and was long governed under Ottoman rule. It took on its current administrative form following Yemen's unification in 1990.
Fishing communities along the Red Sea coast maintain traditional harvesting methods that have been passed down through generations and shape daily life in the region. Their work reflects a deep connection to the sea that shapes the character of local villages and towns.
The region can be cool and windy along the coast while becoming hotter inland, so dress accordingly for varied conditions. Travel is generally easier during cooler months when exploring is more comfortable.
The city of Zabid within the region is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site and houses significant Islamic monuments, including the Great Mosque. These structures display architectural styles from different periods and preserve an important part of regional cultural history.
