About Ibn Battuta
His diary
His profile
Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta
He was born February 24, 1304;
year of death uncertain, possibly 1368 or 1377
He was a Berber Sunni Islamic scholar
and jurisprudent from the Maliki Madhhab,
and at times a Qadi or judge.
He is best known as a traveller and explorer,
whose account documents his travels and excursions over a period of almost thirty years,
covering some 73,000 miles (117,000 km).
These journeys covered almost the entirety of the known Islamic world,
extending from present-day West Africa to Pakistan, India, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia and China,
a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessor,
near-contemporary Marco Polo.
A crater is named after him on the Moon.
A themed shopping mall in Dubai also bears his name,
with some of his earlier research and inventions in displays scattered throughout its corridors.
