Hieronim Kaczmarek's monograph is the result of years of research on the travels of Poles to the territories of present-day Egypt, which began as early as the 15th/16th century. The author analyzes the motives of these trips, the attitude of Polish travelers to local social, cultural and political realities, as well as to elements of the material culture of the visited country. This book is enriched and expanded compared to the first edition, which was published in 2008.

Egypt has always been a special country for Poles. It was with Egypt that Poland established diplomatic relations the earliest (they date back to 1927), the largest Polonia lives in this country, and Egyptian resorts are among the most visited by Polish tourists. Therefore, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the history of Polish travels to Egypt, with the traces that its landscapes, buildings and people have left in Polish memoir literature, records or notes of travelers.

This monograph allows for reflection on contemporary stereotypes and prejudices, still present in the perception of Egypt and its inhabitants, as well as to compare what has changed and what remains constant in Polish-Egyptian, or more broadly Polish-Arab relations. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, culture and international relations.
