Lear visited Egypt four times and the present view dates to his first trip when after nine months of travelling through the eastern Mediterranean, he arrived in Cairo on 6 January 1849. On 6 February he and his friend John Cross set off on camels from Cairo to Sinai and Palestine. They spent three nights at the monastery at Sinai, but Lear took a fever and was forced to give up the trip and convalesce at Suez.
