Can tourists go skiing in Yemen?
Is it possible for tourists to go skiing in Yemen?
An article talking about the skiing scene in Saudi Arabia mentions:
Saudi entrepreneurs have seen the demand for snow sports facilities in the country, and have actually attempted to build ski resorts in mountainous areas of southwest Saudi Arabia, next to the border with Yemen.
If the bits of Saudi Arabia near Yemen are potential targets for skiing, does that mean that skiing within Yemen is possible?
Wikipedia states that it's possible to go skiing in Yemen, but doesn't provide a citation.
Criteria for skiing:
- It has to be outdoors, not indoors like Ski Dubai
- On snow, not sand
- Open for tourists, not just locals
