No idea re. Kafih in English (I'd wager no). If not, can use phone camera and google to translate page by page (not ideal, but it works). Saphir has been translated into English (maybe not complete?). Some of the older travelogues have been translated into English, I don't know how much about Yemen specifically in those (the patron might have to check under city names, Sheba, Southern Arabia, etc. rather than Yemen). Only in Hebrew, but J.D. Eisenstein's anthology אוצר המסעות might have selections on Yemen.

Do you know if Joseph Kafih's book was ever translated into English? The only copy I was able to find is in Hebrew. I love the idea of travelogues, too. I look forward to exploring. I appreciate all the help from Hasafran!
