It was around this time that a white guy adopted the clothing of an Arab country and passed himself off as an Arab to learn more about a country (Syria, I think?). I learned about him in the intro to an episode of the Fall of Civilizations podcast. Travel was definitely different then.

I think it was ep 15, about the Nabataeans.

Edit: the Nabataeans were in modern Jordan.
