Toyota Lancruisers

If you are gonna get ahead in Yemen you have to have a Landcruiser, the vehicle of choice for the mountain mobile Arab. If you are minted you get one of the latest models like the one on the left here, owned by some firendly chaps we met outsie Ibb who earned the big bucks needed working in NYC. Most comfortble hitch of our travels so far, even though we drove up a mountain! Older models also abound, we had a less spiffy one for our Shahara tour. For the ultimate in rugged theres the Pick-up version, favored by police types who have big old guns mounted in the back. Its abscent in the one on the right though, only me clambering about high on khat.....
