Burton's second expedition to Midian, the area of north-west Saudi Arabia on the opposite bank of the Gulf of Aqaba from the Sinai Peninsular, resulted in increased geographical knowledge, particularly regarding the western fringe of the peninsula north of Muelah and of the interior south of that place beyond the plateau. He mapped a 600-mile route through the northern and southern Midian recording its ancient cities. For the Khedive he brought back twenty-five tons of minerals to be assayed.
