This research studies the Mexicans who traveled to the Middle East throughout the nineteenth century. An analysis will be made concerning the interpretations these travelers produced on the Muslims and the Islam they came across within each journey. This text explains why Mexicans interpreted Islam as they did. In order to attain such an explanation, an overview of the passage from the Hispanic heritage of Mexico to the Republican Modernity is carried out. Hence, this investigation presents the differences implied within each specific act of traveling, and inquires into the peculiarity that modifies every impression drawn regarding the Muslims.
