Yemen (i/ˈjɛmən/; Arabic: اليَمَن al-Yaman), officially known as theRepublic of Yemen (الجمهورية اليمنية al-Jumhūrīyah al-Yamanīyah), is anArab country in Western Asia, occupying the southwestern to thesouthern end of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen is the second largest country in the peninsula, occupying 527,970 km2 (203,850 sq mi). The coastline stretches for about 2,000 km (1,200 mi).[6] It is bordered bySaudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, the Gulf of Aden andArabian Sea to the south, and Oman to the east. Although Yemen's constitutionally stated capital is the city of Sana'a, the city has been under rebel control since February 2015.
