Hi James,
For the time being it is extremely difficult to get into Yemen overland. Only the coastal border seems to be operational at this point. But there is hardly any reliable information as to whether the border is open for third counties' citizens as well.
In addition, it seems that only the coastal road is halfway safe for overland travel. It is highly dangerous on any road to go from the coast up to the capital Sana'a!
On another note, it seems that pirates are getting deep into the waters of the Red Sea now - which would make any dhouw that plies the route from the Yemeni port of Mokka to Djibouti a perfect bounty.
Therefore, I would strongly recommend to ship the car from Aqaba to Djibouti or to go by ferry from Jeddah to Suakin in Sudan by ferry. It seems there are two companies operating this route. Reports also say that bureaucracy is rather straight forward on this route.
Best
Achim
