Its subject ranges from visits to ancient sites and medieval pilgrimage to journeys undertaken in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The volume considers both real and fictional travel, including religious pilgrimage and missionary activity, alongside journeys for commercial, military, diplomatic, scientific, artistic and leisure purposes. | The chapters explore travellers' accounts as records of changing political, cultural and religious relations. Subjects include Ibn Jubayr, Peter Mundy's journeys in Ottoman Turkey, John Greaves's survey of Egypt, a nineteenth-century tour to Petra and Jordan, foreign travellers in Upper Egypt, and the fictional traveller in Bram Stoker's *The Jewel of Seven Stars*.
