    About this ebook

    He travelled on his first 'Hajj' to Mecca overland. Covering a distance of over 3,500 kilometres, he reached the port of Alexandria. He then headed inland to Cairo and journeying up the Nile valley reached the Red Sea. A rebellion there turned him back to Cairo. From Cairo, he took a second side trip to Damascus in Syria. On the Way, he visited Jerusalem and Bethlehem. There he joined a caravan that, travelling 1500 kilometres south, reached Medina and visited the tomb of Prophet Muhammad. Then he journeyed on to Mecca where he completed his pilgrimage and took the title of 'Haji'. He dropped the idea of returning home; after a month spent in Mecca, he joined a large caravan of pilgrims returning to Iraq across the Arabian Peninsula.

      Preface

      He set out alone in 1325, finding no companion and no party of travellers with whom to associate himself. He travelled on his first 'Hajj' to Mecca overland. Covering a distance of over 3,500 kilometres, he reached the port of Alexandria. He then headed inland to Cairo and journeying up the Nile valley reached the Red Sea. A rebellion there turned him back to Cairo. From Cairo, he took a second side trip to Damascus in Syria. On the Way, he visited Jerusalem and Bethlehem. There he joined a caravan that, travelling 1500 kilometres south, reached Medina and visited the tomb of Prophet Muhammad. Then he journeyed on to Mecca where he completed his pilgrimage and took the title of 'Haji'. He dropped the idea of returning home; after a month spent in Mecca, he joined a large caravan of pilgrims returning to Iraq across the Arabian Peninsula. He left the Caravan and reached Iraq via Persia. At Baghdad, he joined the main caravan going to Mecca.

      Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Al Lawati Al Tanji Ibn Battuta stands as one of the world's greatest travellers of all time. He was a Moroccan and Berber (his tribe) traveller-explorer and an early, globetrotter. He is known for his extensive travels. Accounts of his travels were published in his book of travels, called 'Rihla' (meaning 'journey'), written in Arabic. Over a period of about 30 years, Ibn Battuta visited most of the known Islamic world as well as many non-Muslim lands.

      His journeys included trips to North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Africa and Eastern Europe in the West; and to the Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East. He covered a distance, surpassing threefold his
