In 1325, Ibn Battuta was 21 years old and living in Tangiers, Morocco. That year, he went on the hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca.
He traveled for 30 years, visiting 44 countries, and covering 75,000 miles. The only medieval traveler to visit every country of the Islamic empire, he kept a diary that chronicled his run-ins with princes and pirates.
Robbed, bribed, kidnapped, and nearly drowned, Ibn Battuta made maps that were the most accurate of his day.
(p.s. Ibn Battuta lived at the same time as Marco Polo.)
