Ibn Battuta (24 February 1304 – 1368/1369), was a Maghrebi traveller, explorer, and scholar. From 1325 to 1354, he visited much of Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Iberian Peninsula, becoming the most well-traveled explorer in pre-modern history. Near the end of his life, he dictated an account of his journeys, titled A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling, but commonly known as The Rihla. He is a leader in Civilization VII.
Intro[]
Ibn Battuta, a scholar and chronicler born of a Moroccan and Berber family, traveled down the trade routes of Africa, Asia, and Europe starting in 1325. After performing the Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, he went on to explore the Dar al-Islam (the known Muslim world). Through his travelogue, the Rihla, Ibn Battuta's insights into his world, and the lives of those he shared it with, continue to inspire like-minded travelers.
