TJ Yemen Home

January 30, 2008

Welcome to TJ Yemen! TJ Yemen is run by the owner of Talibiddeen Jr. (Islamic and Home Education Resources)

I’m a Muslimah currently residing in Sana’a, Yemen. I know how scary and exciting it can be to relocate to a foreign country and wanted to share my experiences with others who were considering coming to Yemen or those who are just interested in learning about what life is like in Yemen. Of course all accounts are written from the perspective of a foreigner and not a native to Yemen.

This site/blog was originally part of my homeschooling blog, but I decided to give it its own space as I know not everyone thinking about coming to Yemen is interested in wading through my homeschooling “stuff.”

The information/accounts you’ll find are moreso related to Sana’a, as that’s where I am, but you’ll find a little bit about Damaaj and maybe some of the information is pertinent to living in Yemen in general.

I hope you find it beneficial.
