He also gained the support of the French emperor Napoleon III representing to him that better knowledge of Arabia would benefit French imperialistic schemes in Africa and the Middle East. Palgrave then returned to Syria where he assumed the identity of a travelling Syrian physician. Stocking his bags with medicines and small trade goods and accompanied by one servant he set off for Najd in north-central Arabia. He travelled as a Christian.
