Yemen has been a magnet to travelers for thousands of years, from the days of its reputed wealth through the trade of frankincense and myrrh and because of its strategic position on the southwest corner of the Arabian Peninsula - linking east and west. A debt of gratitude is owed to the foreign travelers and artists for their engravings, gathered here for the first time - a corpus of work that gives us invaluable knowledge of Yemen through their creative achievements and which will delight and inspire today's travelers to Yemen.
