📍 Geographic Location of Aden

Geographic Overview

Country code +967 is assigned to Yemen. The national destination code (NDC) 22 is a geographic area code serving the port city of Aden and its surrounding governorate. Aden, located on the Gulf of Aden, is a major economic hub and the former capital of South Yemen. The area code covers the city of Aden proper, including districts such as Crater, Mualla, Khormaksar, and Sheikh Othman, as well as nearby towns and villages within the Aden Governorate.

Dialing Formats

When dialing a fixed-line number in Aden from within Yemen, subscribers use the national format: 0 22 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber number). The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for domestic calls. From outside Yemen, callers must use the international format: +967 22 XXX XXX, omitting the leading '0'. For example, a local number in Aden might be written as 022 345 678 domestically and as +967 22 345 678 internationally.

Calling Instructions

  • Local callers (within Yemen): Dial 022 XXX XXX (including the trunk prefix '0').
  • International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 or 011), then 967, then 22, followed by the 6-digit subscriber number. Example: +967 22 345 678.
  • Mobile to fixed-line: Mobile users in Yemen dial the same national format as fixed-line users: 022 XXX XXX.

Numbering Details

Yemeni fixed-line numbers under the 22 code are typically 9 digits long when including the trunk prefix '0' (0-22-XXX-XXX) and 8 digits in international format (22-XXX-XXX). The subscriber number is 6 digits. This structure follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation.

Overlays and Changes

As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes for the Aden area. The 22 code remains the sole geographic code for the region. However, subscribers should be aware that due to network expansions, some numbers may have been migrated or reassigned. Always verify the current number with the called party if a call fails.

For businesses and individuals in Aden, using the correct dialing format is essential for reliable connectivity.
