A study in port (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aden

'port' is the definition.
(port in Yemen)

'a study' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'den' (term for a study or office).
'a'+'den'='ADEN'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for aden that I've seen before include "Yemen's chief port" , "somewhere on the Arabian peninsula" , "Strange Dane to be in the Yemen" , "Commercial capital of Yemen" , "foreign climes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
