The Yemini Pavilion at Global Village is designed with the look and feel of the country's old bazaars. Meters away, the smell of Yemen's famous spices fill the air. Exhibitors with the national costumes and daggers reflect the country's ancient tradition in spice trade and traditional Yemini dresses. Not to miss is the Yemini dagger, the symbol of manhood, the Yemini dagger is still designed in vintage silver and decorated with precious stones just like in the old days.
