Yemen: Homeland of the Mehri

        


          The Mehri are found mostly in Yemen and Oman. They live in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Mountains with high peaks surround the Mehris. There is a desert that lies to the North of them. The atmosphere most of the time is very dry. They are sometimes hit by sandstorms, which can cause negative effects to their crops. The homeland of  the Mehri’s is sometimes affected by a monsoon that causes their atmosphere to be moist and foggy. The mountains also become water filled when they are hit with the monsoon. Between the monsoons and sandstorms it is hard for the Mehri to harvest crops. The temperatures are very high for most of the year.

           Mehri people are semi-nomadic people. Since the resources they need are scarce, they move around to different regions in search of grazing areas and food. Overall the Mehri’s live in a difficult area to live in but they have adapted and came up with ways to live with what they have.
