Ali Bey al-Abbasi (Domingo Badia y Leblich; 1766 - 1818), Spanish explorer in the early 19th century. Bey travelled in and wrote descriptions of Morocco, Tripoli, Cyprus, Egypt, Arabia, Syria (including modern Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, then considered part of Syria) and Turkey during the period of 1803 -1807, often disguised as a Muslim in order to gain entrance to places forbidden to non-Muslims.
