Do or try in Aden

Among activities carried out by the locals, one can easily sample:
  • snooker ("billiard")
  • hanging out at fresh juice bars or small restaurants with kubz (giant pita bread)
  • chewing betel (2 versions�: tobacco, sweet) but do be aware that this causes cancer on the long-run, and also stains teeth and gums red. Tobacco version is very strong and spitting regularly is highly recommended. Sweet version is particularly tasty and doesn't induce the same urge to spit
  • qat - the national past-time. This also causes cancer on the long-run; first-time use generally induces restlessness, insomnia and general mouth fatigue and aches
  • climbing on the mountain tops for great views of the city (beware of the no trespassing zone and take abundant water and sun screening equipment)
  • beach activities.
  • Aden is especially known for the beautiful beaches and swimming activities. Besides this, Aden has the only considerable nightlife in Yemen, and foreigners can enjoy wonderful Arabian nights. Furthermore, Sport fishing should be considered. Tunas and sharks can be hunted near the coast. A visit at the Gold Mohur Beach and Elephant Bay Hotel is a must. For women traveling alone, there is also a women only beach located at the Sheraton Hotel. Excellent snorkeling is available although not as clear as Sharm El-Sheikh.
