Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

It looks like Linum species. Possibly Linum olgae.

Agreed. Linum olgae

See www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=403705
There's also Linum altaicum in the region but the pedicels are longer than the leaves.
