Ibn Battuta

The Moroccan explorer Ibn Battuta traveled over 75,000 miles throughout the Muslim world and beyond in the 14th century. In this lesson students read from the Rihla, a book of Ibn Battuta's travels, and a present-day historian's account to answer the question: What was the Muslim world like in the 1320s?
