The capital of Yemen is a matter of some debate, as there are four cities that have been suggested as the country's capital. The first is ADEN, a port city located on the Gulf of ADEN in the south of the country. The second is Sanaa, the largest city in Yemen and the center of its political and cultural life. The third is Sanaa, a city in the north of the country, and the fourth is Rial, a city in the west. All four cities have been suggested as the capital of Yemen, but Sanaa is the most widely accepted.
