In Wavell's day, few Christians had visited Mecca, and fewer still Medina. At age twenty-six, in 1908, he traveled in disguise via Beirut and Damascus, reaching Medina by the Hedjaz railway. After some weeks' stay, he traveled secretly to Sanaa, where he witnessed the siege of January to March, 1911, when the Yemenis sought to drive out the Turks. He describes tensions between the non-Turkish population of the Ottoman Empire and their rulers, who tried to "Turkeycise" their subjects. His two companions were an Arab from Aleppo and a Mombassa Swahili. To avoid detection, Wavell told Arabs that his language was Swahili (he was fluent), and when he met natives of East Africa, said he spoke only Arabic. N. B.
