The dramatic encounter between Muhammad 'Ali Pasha, Ottoman governor of Egypt, and his vanquished Saudi foe, Imam 'Abd Allah, in Cairo in November 1818, marks the symbolic end of the First Saudi State. 'Abd Allah was in transit to public execution in Istanbul, while the Pasha was on his way to becoming a major regional force, founding a local dynasty. The meeting was witnessed by the English Whig, John Bowes Wright, Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, whose previously unpublished account throws new light on the exchange, as well as the surrender by 'Abd Allah of the remaining treasures taken by his late father, Sa'ud, from the Prophet's tomb in al-Madina. The book highlights the importance of this historic moment in the uneasy relationship between Muhammad 'Ali and his nominal sovereign, Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, and analyses their respective efforts to benefit domestically and internationally from 'Abd Allah's final journey. It considers the political cultures of the main regional protagonists and the Whiggish attitudes and assumptions that Bowes Wright brings to his experiences in Cairo and Istanbul. It is this cultural exploration that distinguishes this work and makes it of particular value to those interested in pre-modern Middle Eastern history and the contribution to the understanding of Western travellers in Egypt and the Levant.
