Averaging about 1830 m (about 6000 ft), and rising at one point to the highest peak on the peninsula at more than 3657 m (12,000 ft), the Yemeni highlands have a generally semiarid but otherwise temperate climate, despite their location well south of the Tropic of Cancer.
Moreover, since the highlands in the north are loftier and more extensive than in the south, the north has a generally less forbidding climate, greater rainfall, more intensive and extensive agriculture, and a much larger population.
The eastern two-thirds of southern Yemen are basically uninhabitable, except for coastal oases, fishing villages, the port of AlMukalla, and the large, well-populated district of Hadhramaut, which extends from the coast into the country's interior.
