How to make a blank Yemen map

  1. Open the Yemen map. Start from the panel above, which is already the editor. What a click paints here is one region. There are 21 of them, all listed further down this page: check that list before you start, it is the whole of what this map can colour.
  2. Write the legend before you paint. Add one entry per category and say what it means in your own words. The legend is part of the exported image, so a map that made sense to you at midnight still makes sense to someone who sees it cold.
  3. Fill the regions. Every click paints one region. Fill everything in a baseline colour first and then paint the exceptions, or paste a table of regions and values and let the colour scale do it.
  4. Export or publish. Download a PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF at the size you ask for, or publish for a link with a preview image.

What you can do

  • All 21 regions, each a separate clickable shape.
  • Yemen beside Oman and Saudi Arabia on one map, from the custom map link below.
  • Flat colours, or stripe, dot and checkerboard patterns for the categories that would otherwise look alike.
  • Colour by numbers: paste a table of names and values and the map fills itself in on a scale you choose.
  • A legend you write yourself, with a heading, dragged wherever the map has room.
  • Names or codes printed on the regions, on or off, in a colour you pick.
  • Backgrounds, borders and border colours are all editable, or turn the borders off entirely.
  • PNG, JPEG, SVG and PDF export at the end, with nothing to install first.

Make your own blank Yemen map

A trip across Yemen, region by region

The route, the places that were worth the detour and the ones that were not, one colour each with a legend that says which. A region-level map is honest about a country this size: a city dot claims too much, a national outline says nothing.

Data by region

Population, rainfall, income, the main language, which side a border dispute sits on. Paste a table of Yemen's regions and values and the map shades itself on a scale you choose, which is faster than painting regions one at a time and harder to get wrong.

Where you have been in Yemen

The regions you have visited, lived in, worked in or only passed through. Three colours and a legend that says what each one means, and 21 shapes is small enough to finish in one sitting.

Yemen with its neighbours

The world map can carry Yemen and Oman and Saudi Arabia on one board, each country coloured separately, and can open any of them into their own regions. That is the map for anything that does not stop at a border.

Common questions

How many regions are on the Yemen map?

21, every one of them a separate shape you can click and fill. The list above runs from `Adan to Ta`izz. They are the first-level divisions of Yemen as the source data draws them, credited on our credits page, so a merged or disputed area appears the way the source has it.

Which countries border Yemen on this map?

Oman and Saudi Arabia. That is read from the world map's own geometry: the countries whose outlines share the border with Yemen. Each one has a map page of its own, linked above.

Is Yemen on a bigger map here too?

Yes. Yemen is one of the countries on the Asia map and the Middle East map, and on the world map, where it can be opened into its own regions beside its neighbours at theirs.

Can I colour something smaller than a region?

Not on this map. It works at region level, which is the level nearly every map of Yemen is drawn at.

Can I put the names on the map itself?

Yes. Region labels can be switched on for the whole map, in a colour and size you choose, and you can write your own text for any region where the real name is too long to fit. On a busy map most people leave the labels off and let the legend carry it.

Do I need an account?

No. The editor opens straight away, the map stays in this browser while you work, and exporting an image never asks you to sign in. An account only matters if you want to publish a map at a link other people can open.

Can I use the exported map commercially?

The image is yours, and we ask for no credit: the only mark on it is the site address in small type in the bottom corner, and nothing is drawn across the map. Nothing from the map data is added to the picture either, because we only ship boundary data whose licence is satisfied by naming it on our credits page, so there is no credit line to print and nothing for you to pass on. Anything you add to the map stays your own.
