Ibn Battuta’s journey 1325-1354 (nov 11, 1325 – may 12, 1354)

Description:

Ibn Battuta’s journey started when he was 20 years old. His main reason for travel was to go on the Hajj to fullfill the fifth pillar of Islam. However, his journey would take 29 years and would span 75,000 miles in 44 modern countries. He met some dangers and had numerous adventures on his travels. He was almost drowned in a sinking ship, attacked by bandits, and nearly beheaded by a tyrant ruler. He also had a few marriages and fathered several children on his travels. At the end of his journey the Sultan of Malacca insisted that he tell his stories to a scholar to compile into a book titled Ibn Battuta's Rihla.
