La vita di quasi tutti gli yemeniti di sesso maschile ruota attorno al “qat”, foglie a effetto stimolante coltivato sugli altopiani. Masticare il qat è un'importante attività sociale, e costituisce un grosso problema sociale, oltre a comportare danni irreparabili alla salute. C'è chi spende oltre il 40% dei propri guadagni. Gli uomini e a volte anche le donne, ma separatamente e in privato, riescono a passare anche più di 4 ore tutti i pomeriggi senza far molto altro che masticare il qat. La produzione è talmente remunerativa che spesso e gestita da bande criminali e oltre a tre quarti della terra fertile vengono consacrati alla coltivazione di questa piante (invece che ad altri prodotti agricoli destinati al mercato, come il tradizionale caffè).
