YEMEN CONFIRMED AS THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF ARABIA YemenOnline- July 19 - If you think of Arabian heritage, Petra might spring to mind.

Since UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee met in Canada on 8 July, Yemen has had four internationally recognised sites. No other country in Arabia has more. This number is more than Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and equals the number in neighbouring Oman, which has a much higher international profile.Finde more on http://yemenonline.info/news-861.html
