It's definitely not unheard of in Yemen (or Arabia in general) - but its diversity and frequency both peak in the Levant, specifically the southern Levant.

How can we find out if her cluster is from yemen

I don't know. There's a lot of active discussion of that stuff on a microscopic level at this forum -- http://community.haplozone.net/index.php?board=20.0. In my limited explorations, I've never heard of any single E-M84 cluster that was concentrated in Yemen.
