| Power | Type A/D/G sockets, 240/400 V, 50 Hz |
On power, you are in luck: both US outlets and Yemen's use Type A, so many of your chargers should fit as-is. Voltage differs too (240/400 V there versus 120/240 V, 120/208 V, 277/480 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for Yemen.
