  • Arminius Vámbéry was a Hungarian Turkologist and traveler, who in 1863, disguised as a Sunni dervish, and under the name of Reshit Efendi, set out from the capital city of the Ottoman Empire to research and chart Central Asia for the British Empire. His route lay from Trebizond on the Black Sea to Tehran in Persia, where he joined a band of pilgrims returning from Mecca, spending several months with them traveling across Central Iran (Tabriz, Zanjan, and Kazvin). He then went to Shiraz, through Isfahan, and in June 1863, he reached Khorezm (Central Asia). Throughout this time, he succeeded in maintaining his disguise as Reshit Efendi, so that upon his arrival at the Khanate of Khiva he managed to keep up appearances during interviews with Khan Sayyid Muhammad. Together with his band of travelers, he then crossed Bokhara and arrived at Samarkand. (In his book he describes the main monuments of Samarkand including the city's citadel.) Initially, his arrival aroused the suspicions of the local ruler, who kept him in an audience for a full half-hour. Vámbéry managed to maintain his pretenses and left the audience laden with gifts.Upon leaving Samarkand, Vámbéry began making his way back to Istambul (Istanbul), traveling by way of Herat. There he took leave of the band of dervishes and joined a caravan to Tehran, and from there, via Trebizond and Erzurum, to Istambul, arriving there in March 1864. This was the first successful journey of its kind undertaken by a European. Since it was necessary to avoid suspicion, Vámbéry could not take even fragmentary notes, except by stealth.After a long and perilous journey, he arrived back at Pest in May 1864. He went to London to arrange the English-language publication of his book about the travels. Travels in Central Asia and its Hungarian counterpart Közép-ázsiai utazás were published in 1865. The book was a bestseller making Vámbéry an internationally renowned writer and celebrity.
