Al Mukha, a port city on Yemen's Red Sea coast, holds a significant place in history. Once the primary port for Yemen's capital, Sanaa, Al Mukha is renowned for its coffee trade.  This very city is where "Mocha" coffee gets its name, historically shipped from here. 

Explore the local markets and discover authentic Yemeni coffee. Mocha beans, also known as Sanani or Mocha Sanani beans, are prized for their unique flavor.  Look for traditional Yemeni crafts, spices, and textiles as souvenirs of your visit.  The historic Minaret of Mocha Mosque stands as a symbol of the city's past, while a visit to the terraced coffee farms provides a glimpse into the unique cultivation methods used in Yemen's rugged terrain.  While the ongoing conflict in Yemen has impacted the area, Al Mukha offers a chance to experience its historic significance and traditional Yemeni culture.
