I spek from the research I've done rather than experience - I'm looking at shipping from Yemen to Djibouti.
Basically there are no real facilites to ship a car, but it's not impossible. I have friends who shipped a BIG Mercedes 4x4 truck from Djibouti to Yemen. But you need a bit of luck, and plenty of time. The problem is cranes to transfer the car to a dhow, and you need two cars to balance the boat. as they are put on the sides of the main deck.
So there are no firm arrangements or guarantees that you can make before turning up.
The alternative is to get a Yemeni visa, then get a Saudi transit visa in Sudan, and ship from Port Sudan to Jeddah. This is, I think, the only fixed route RO-RO ferry in the region (no cranes etc needed), but is reliant on you getting the elusive Saudi transit visa. But chances are good by all reports, as long as you have a carnet, a Yemeni visa and are a lone male.
Please let me know how you get on, I'm planning to ship end of this year ish.
