Bemerkung:

"Burckhardt arrived in Cairo from Syria in 1812. Later he travelled up the Nile and thence eastward through Shendi and Suakin to make the Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, returning across the Red Sea to Suez in 1815. He visited Mt. Sinai the next year, but while waiting in Cairo, planning an epic journey across the Sahara, he contracted dysentry and died. He had a deep empathy for Islam, and was buried as a holy pilgrim in the Muslim cemetery there" (aus dem Klappentext). - Gutes Exemplar.
