Accommodation varies from ancient palace hotels and modern luxury hotels to funduks and tribal huts. It is necessary to book in advance and to receive a written confirmation. Winter and summer rates are the same. All bills are subject to a 10 to 15 per cent service charge. Standards range from basic to 5-star. The best hotels are located in Hodeida, Mareb, Sana’a, Ta’izz and Tawahi (Aden). There are also hotels at Jaar, Mukalla (al-Shaab), Mukheiras, Seiyyum (al-Salaam) and Shihr (al-Sharq). Outside the main centres, facilities are limited. Contact a travel agent or the General Authority of Tourism for further details (see Top Things To See & Do).
