Going out is tiresome but it should not be stressful.

Third of all, do not get heat stroke if you are visiting a specifically hot country; Yemen is one of those countries. Big changes in temperature should be addressed; if it is hotter now than you are accustomed to it, do not overdo it. You should also avoid putting much effort as you normally would in your activities.
