Friedrich Konrad Hornemann (1772-1801), a native of Hildesheim who had settled in Egypt in February 1797, joined a caravan returning from the hajj to North Africa on 5 September 1798, posing as a young Muslim, which enabled him to reach the oases of Siwa, Aujilla and Mourzouq. He lived there until June 1799, when he returned to Tripoli, from where he sent an account of his adventures to London.
