Salif, As Salif, Saleef
Salif, a coastal village nestled on Yemen's western
shores, boasts a unique charm. Located
on the Red Sea, Salif is known for its large deposits of exceptionally pure
rock salt, mined by a government corporation. The Al-Salif port underwent a
significant expansion in 1976, making it a vital part of Yemen's maritime
infrastructure.
Beyond its salty treasures,
Salif's history and proximity to the Red Sea are intriguing. Explore the decks of the Galaxy Leader, an Israeli-linked ship
seized and transformed into a curious tourist attraction. Traditional Houthi music fills the air as
visitors capture selfies and express solidarity against actions in Gaza. For a deeper dive into Yemen's history,
