REAL ESTATE: RENTAL FINDS, NEGOTIATIONS, & LAND PURCHASES

Strategically located on the Gulf of Aden at the entrance to the Bab al-Mandab strait, Aden is one of the world’s most important ports to international trade. Aden can be considered a market of the future and studies show that this reflects positively on the real estate market, making it attractive to local real estate investors. SMC knows the Aden market well, and we can help you search for property whether you’ve already arrived in country, or you’re looking remotely. We can provide details about available properties, show them to you, or view them for you on the ground. We can also assist with completing the legal procedures for buying, selling, or renting.

CULTURAL NORMS & PRACTICES BRIEFINGS

There are numerous customs and practices that might be unfamiliar to expats working in Yemen, or which may have a different meaning in a visitor’s home culture. Avoid misunderstandings and make sure you’re sending the right messages by making time for an SMC briefing on cultural norms and practices. We will enrich your perceptions and understandings of the ancient, time-honored traditions and emerging trends in Yemeni life, covering food and cuisine, holidays and celebrations, clothing, gender, religion, social expectations, and more.
