A map illustrating Ibn Battuta's (Abū Abd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Abd Allāh Al-Lawātī, 1304 – c.1368) series of extraordinary journeys across the Islamic world and beyond spanning close to 75,000 miles (120,000 kilometers). A 14th-century Maghrebi explorer and Islamic scholar, he dictated an account of his journeys commonly known as The Rihla (from Arabic رحلة, Journey, Travelogue), providing invaluable insights into the medieval world, offering vivid descriptions of societies, economies, and governance structures from Marocco, Mali, and Spain to India and China. Battuta's descriptions and reflections also provide a unique window into the complexities of intercultural exchange, religious diversity, and political intrigue that characterized the medieval era.
