Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan Muslim scholar and
traveler. He is known for his travelling called the ‘Rihla’. His journeys
lasted for a period of almost thirty years.
Ibn Battuta was born
in Tangier, Morocco, on February 24th,1304 C.E. His family was of Berber origin.
After receiving an education in Islamic law, he chose to travel. Heleft his house on June 1325 on a
hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca, but he did not come back to Morocco for at least 30
years. His journey was mostly by land: to reduce the risk of being attacked, he
usually chose to join a caravan.
This man sailed down
the Red Sea to Mecca. He crossed the huge Arabian Desert and travelled to Iraq
and Iran. In 1330, he travelled to Aden and later to Tanzania. In 1332, he
decided to go to Indiawhere he got the job of a judge for a period of 8 years
and then left for China. In 1352, he went south, crossed the Sahara Desert, and
visited the African kingdom of Mali. Finally, he returned home in 1355 when he
was appointed a judge in Morocco and died thirteen years later.
