About the book

A Secret Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina recounts the extraordinary journey of Richard Francis Burton, who travelled in disguise to the Islamic holy cities during the nineteenth century. Because access was forbidden to non-Muslims, the journey involved considerable personal risk. Burton's account combines adventure, observation and ethnography, describing customs, landscapes and religious practices encountered along the route.
