Winstanley left England and travelled to Suez and onward to Jeddah.
He described Jeddah as a walled Arab port of considerable commercial
activity, its importance much increased by its closeness to Mecca. He
journeyed by camel to Khartoum and was apprehensive approaching
Debra Tabor, neither a handsome nor a healthy city. He gains an audience
with the King and leaves a very detailed account of his overall travels.
