Bountiful Tours conducts unique tours of Lehi & Sariah’s path from Jerusalem to Bountiful.
It also operates custom-made tours overland into the historical Hadramaut Valley and coast of Yemen, air-tours to the mystical island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean and tours of the ancient Frankincense Trail in Saudi Arabia.
Bountiful Tours incorporates the best and latest research findings in all areas it takes you to. Links to these findings will also be highlighted on this website.
Bountiful Tours is a non-profit entity managed by best-selling author and speaker Warren Aston. Warren is the only Latter-day Saint who has explored the entire eastern coast of Arabia and many inland areas that Lehi and his family must have passed through.
