We travelled the whole night without interruption, and on the morning of June 22nd alighted at the place called El Hamra, the Hadj station between Cairo and Adjeroud. The ladies of the Pasha had brought two carriages with them from the Hedjaz, in which they had travelled all the way from Tor to Suez, the road being every where of easy passage.
The caravan is supplied with water from Suez, that which Adjeroud furnishes being extremely bad. To Roos el Nowatyr, a plain in the mountain, without water: here they halt only a few hours, and proceed To Wady Tyh, the entrance to the Desert of Tyh: here they halt a few hours, but, not finding any water, go on
From this place the caravan starts on the 27th of the month Showal: it travels only by night, generally setting out at four o'clock in the afternoon, and alighting soon after sun-rise at the station where they encamp, until evening. From the Birket el Hadj 1st night To Dar el Hamra. To Adjeroud: here they halt the whole day and following night.
