The diaries of Mohammed Ali Effendi Sa'oudi, a civil servant and accomplished photographer, offer a rare glimpse of the Hajj through Egyptian eyes at the beginning of the twentieth century. The authors have compressed the diaries into a highly readable narrative with selected quotations, illustrated with Sa'oudi's photographs.
