In 1825, Edward William Lane went to Egypt where he had experienced one of the most memorable events of his life. During his first few days of stay there, all things went well as he enjoyed watching the English coast and other shows. In this trip, Lane found himself enjoying every detail of it. This chapter discusses everything that Lane had experienced in one of his trips. Apart from the wonderful experiences that Lane had, he also met some people, and one of them was Salt who had provided them letters to be introduced to Cairo.
