Abstract : Aden is an economic capital city with a major port on the Arabian Sea in south Yemen. The city of Aden was under Egyptian control from the 3rd century BC until it became a Roman colony in 24 BC. The rivalry between the Roman and Persian Empires made the Emperor Constantus send a mission to Yemen under the leadership of Theophilus Indus in 356. The city fell successively under Ethiopian and Persian control and became associated with Yemen about the 7th century AD. By the rise of Islam, Aden was part of Yemeni states. The city fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1538 and was incorporated into the sultanate of Lahej in 1728. After British forces seized Aden in 1839, it was administered as part of India. Aden was the greatest market in the world for the exchange of the goods of the East for those of the West. Joseph Hell in his book The Arab Civilization, states that "via Aden Arabs imported in great abundance aromatics" such as 'musk' from India. European travelers wandered the Eastern lands and wrote their travelogues in a fairly close manner. Zen, John Cabot, Pero de Covilha, Von Harff, Da Silveira, Da Quadra, Ludvico de Verma, and later Francisco Alvarez undertook travel to Aden and the Islamic world. They described Oriental cities, people, costume and customs. Aden is splendidly admirable to English travellers in its serenity. Aden would not be forgotten in the historical British memorial. This picture becomes a source of books for interested researchers.
