I'm scheduled for an extended stint, but haven't been in a few years and haven't spent long periods.

Any local knowledge appreciated.

And yes, I have made appropriate inquiries at ex-pat websites too. I just trust y'all more.

I'd be especially wary about Yemen. (Haven't been there myself, but I've read enough bad stuff in the papers.)

I was thinking the same thing. I imagine Qatar and Oman are much safer.

So it is said. I don't worry much: life's too short. (No jokes about making it even shorter.) I spend enough time in war zones and truly bad places to sweat the ill-defined threat that might exist in Yemen.

My wife lived half her life in Dubai, UAE. That's the place to be. Her family has travelled to Oman and Qatar, but Yemen was out of the question for security reasons.

I visited Dubai 3 times and only passed through Oman. Beautiful places.

All I know (positively) about Yemen is Ofra Haza's beautiful music.

I have the good fortune to be able to see the world. And to HEAR the world. One of the overlooked joys of travel is local music.

Just be sure to post lots of pictures when you get back.

Back to.... I'm on the travel merry-go-round. It never stops.

And, for better or worse, I don't own a camera.
