Then, Richard took a side trip to Harar and met the ruler of Harar and stayed with him for a period of 10 days. It is said that Richard disappeared into the desert for about 4 months until he eventually found himself in Harar. Richard identified himself as an Arab merchant named  Haji Mirza Abdullah. Richard was the first white man to enter into the forbidden city of Harar. Since Richard was the first white man to visit the forbidden city of Harar; he lived under a huge pressure in his 10 days in Harar.
