Burton not only travelled to Harar but also was introduced to the Emir and stayed in the city for ten days, officially a guest of the Emir but in reality his prisoner.
Burton nemcsak beutazott Hararba, hanem még az emírnek is bemutatták, és tíz napot töltött a városban, hivatalosan az emír vendégekét, gyakorlatilag foglyaként.
