Link to The Virtual Jewish History Tour – Yemen Web site from a Mormanity commenter. Yemen is down there on the tip of the Arabian peninsula. You can look at 1 Nephi 16:13-14, 33-34, 17:1-6 to read the directions Lehi's group traveled, leaving them on the eastern side of the peninsula rather than in the Yemen area.

Is this like that guy we heard speak in Long Beach about the Nephi Project?

Like it, yes; Nephi Project has tried to discover the route taken by Lehi. But the Web site linked is not Mormon, and concerns a different group of Jews in Yemen, whose oral history says they left Jerusalem–because of Jeremiah's prophecies of Jerusalem's destruction–and headed into the Arabian Peninsula not too long before Lehi did the same thing.
