The Life and Travels of Ibn Battuta | In The Footsteps Of History

Ibn Battuta (1304-1368), a Moroccan-born Muslim scholar and adventurer, traveled 75,000 miles across Africa, the Middle East, India and Southeast Asia, helping spread Islamic culture. For 29 years, he explored these lands (or Dar al-Islam) on foot. He put his stories and observations into a travel book, called a “rihla,” meaning “voyage” in Arabic, which helped shed light on the rich social, cultural, and political history of the Muslim world.
This feature from In The Footsteps Of History focuses on Ibn’s last journey, along the West African gold/salt route, down to Mansa Musa’s legendary capital of Timbuktu.
