Summary

Travel to Arabia: including a description of the area in the Hijaz that Mohammedans consider sacred / John Lewis Burckhardt

Translation of Samir Delibegović's work "Travels in Arabia" originally published in 1829 in London, ("Travel to Arabia") by John Lewis Burckhardt, a Swiss traveler and orientalist, who studied Arabic at Cambridge University due to travel convenience. In order to gain a better knowledge of Eastern life, he perfected his Arabic and studied Islamic law in Aleppo, disguised himself as a Muslim and took the name Sheikh Ibrahim ibn Abdullah.
There are indications that his conversion to Islam was sincere, although his family denied it.
During his stay in Syria, he visited Palmyra, Damascus and Lebanon, and "discovered" the unique remains of Petra that had been undiscovered for almost a thousand years. year. Seeing that it was impossible to penetrate the desert towards Libya, he set off through the Nubian desert disguised as a poor Syrian merchant, and across the Red Sea he continued to Mecca where he performed the pilgrimage. After spending three months in Mecca, he visited Medina.
