Description
xCarlo Guarmani, an Italian Arabist fluent in Arabic, made this journey in 1864.
Moving between the tribes in Al-Jawf to Unaizah and then Hail in Al-Qassim under the pretext of searching for purebred horses, his real mission was political reconnaissance, which was assigned to him by the Emperor of France, Napoleon III, who dreamed of establishing an alliance with an Arab empire that he was working to establish. For this purpose, he had sent two years earlier the British traveler, William Gifford Palgrave.
