Al Hudayda (often spelt Al Hodeidah) is a city in Yemen with a population of 402,560 (2004).
It is the principal port of Yemen on the Red Sea coast. Tourism is not a big industry, so there are relatively few facilities for visitors.
The city is located 225 km from Sana'a and 225 km from Ta'izz, 294 km from Jizan, 14 km from Al-Kathib.
There are regular flights from Sana'a, which take about half an hour. The road from Sana'a is not in good condition.
There are very few good hotels in the town. The only real exception is the Hodeidah Land Resort. There are a number of small hotels in the city centre, but they are poor by any international standards.
