I'm looking for a supplier
of gingered coffee. This was available in ziploc bags in a
number of Middle Eastern and East African stores in
Minneapolis. The
ginger - which appeared to be very roughly ground, or shredded
actually, was already mixed in with the coffee, which I
imagine was of a Turkish or similar roast and grind. We would
like to sell this coffee to our customers. The recipe for
ginger coffee on your website is nice, but I'm looking for the
product I described above.

Has anyone traveled overland from Dhufar, Oman to Mahra and on to
Hadhramawt, Yemen? How are the roads? Is it possible to travel along
the
coast, or only inland?
Are there hotels in the towns of Mahra? Since one of our party is
disabled, we need to know if there is any place with rooms on the ground
floor and with a western-style toilet, i.e. pedestal rather than squatter.
Do you have to apply for a land-entry visa for Yemen? Any problems with
this border crossing? We speak Arabic and know Yemen and Oman well, just
haven't been to Mahra or made this crossing. Please

another girl or even with a male friend with no
knowledge of the island? Also, is accepteble for females to
wear western clothes and swimwear, etc? Please excuse my
ignorance!

We are planing a Norwegian
expedition to Socotra 2001/2002. Before further planning we hope to get some
advice about security
in the area: is it safer in Socotra than in the
rest of Yemen? Terrorism? Do we need mosquito-tents?
Can we buy fresh water in bottles in Ha'dibu? What about
accommodation,
hotel or guesthouse in Ha'dibu? What is the cost of
living (food and accommodation) on the island?
The expedition
will consist of two archaeologists, a landscape architect, an
ethnographer, a historian, a
photographer and a video producer. Is it best for us
to use an Arabic interpreter from Norway, a person
from Yemen or a person from Socotra? Can we rent a four-weel
car (with or without a driver) and what is the
approximate price? What is the best time
to visit the island (spending two-four weeks)?
