Dar Al-Maaref Publishes Arabic Account of John Lloyd Stephens’ Journey to Egypt

Dar Al-Maaref has released “From New York to Egypt: The Journey of John Lloyd Stephens, 1835” as part of its “Biography of Cairo” series.

The book is an Arabic translation of the first part of Stephens’ account, bringing his journey to Arabic-language readers.

Its title traces a route from New York to Egypt and places the journey in 1835, offering a historical travel narrative rather than a contemporary portrait.

The release adds a traveller’s perspective to the publisher’s Cairo-focused series. The brief publication announcement did not provide further details about the translation or the remaining parts of the account.
