A state in Southwest Asia, it borders Saudi Arabia to the north and Oman to the east. It is lapped by the Red Sea to the west, while to the south it faces the Gulf of Aden.
The territory occupies the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. The coastal belt is characterised by thin plains, hemmed in by steep escarpments leading to the central plateaus, which are extremely uneven due to the presence of deep valleys, gently sloping down to the ar-Rub al-Khali desert in the northeast.
The climate is warm tropical, with milder temperatures at higher altitudes. Rainfall, higher than the average for the Arabian region, is concentrated in March-May and July-August.
