Abstract
Given the scarcity of critical studies of women travellers, this article attempts to approach the image of Morocco at a time marked by difficult political, economic and social transformations shortly after the death of the Moroccan sultan Almoula Ismail, based on the Dutch version of Maria Terre Metlin's experience with her families in the 1830s, between 1731 and 1743. The aim of this essay is to shed light on women's journeys from a mystical perspective. It also aims to reveal some of the stereotypes constructed by captive women travellers around Morocco and Morocco, highlighting the contexts and motives behind their formation and getting to the bottom of the various motivations and the psychological, ideological and cultural backgrounds of the conscious and unconscious construction.
