Geographic Overview
Yemen's country calling code +967 is followed by a two-digit National Destination Code (NDC) for geographic routing. The prefix 54 is assigned to the Hadhramaut Governorate, the largest governorate in Yemen, located in the eastern part of the country. This NDC covers the administrative capital Al Mukalla, as well as other key cities and districts such as Sayun, Tarim, Shibam, and Al Qatn. The region is known for its historical significance and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Shibam and Tarim.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line number in Hadhramaut from within Yemen, subscribers dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the NDC 54 and the subscriber's local number, which typically consists of 7 digits. The complete national format is: 0 54 XXX XXXX.
For international callers, the format is: +967 54 XXX XXXX (or 00967 54 XXX XXXX when using the international prefix from many countries). It is essential to omit the leading '0' when dialing from abroad.
Numbering and Overlays
Yemen's numbering plan follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation. Geographic numbers are allocated to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and are used by the incumbent operator, Yemeni Telecommunication Corporation (Yemeni Telecom). As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for Hadhramaut; the 54 NDC remains exclusive to this governorate. However, due to the ongoing conflict and infrastructure changes, some numbers may have been reassigned or may be unreachable. It is advisable to verify the number with the recipient before placing a call.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Hadhramaut can often dial the local number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange. However, for calls from other governorates, the full national format with the trunk prefix is required.
International callers should replace the international access code (00 or +) with the appropriate code for their country, then dial 967 (Yemen's country code), followed by 54 and the local number. For example, to call a number in Al Mukalla, one would dial +967 54 123 4567.
Given the dynamic situation in Yemen, it is recommended to use alternative communication methods such as VoIP or satellite services if traditional PSTN lines are unavailable.
