A country on the southern Arabian peninsula (5)

I believe the answer is:

yemen

(Other definitions for yemen that I've seen before include "Country to W. of Oman" , "Saudi neighbour" , "Arabian country, capital Sanaa" , "Arab country" , "Country between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
