Idriss al-Amraoui

Idriss ibn Muhammad ibn al-Amraoui, son of the poet Mohammed ibn Idris al-Amrawi was a Moroccan emissary who, in the service of sultan Mohammed IV (1859–1873), visited Paris in 1860 and Spain in 1861.[1] His arrival in France coincided with the death of Napoleon III. He wrote a rihla of that journey called Tuhfat almalik al-aziz bi-mamlakat Bariz. He gives a detailed description of his impressions.[2] Beside prose works Al-Amraoui has also left an important diwan.
