Yemen is a country at the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is mostly mountainous and generally arid, although some areas receive enough rain for successful farming. Yemen lies at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, a location that has influenced its history, culture, economy, and population. Most people speak dialects of Arabic and are Muslim. The Republic of Yemen was created in May 1990 when North Yemen and South Yemen merged.
