* Ibn Battuta (born February 24, 1304, Tangier, Morocco—died 1368/69 or 1377, Morocco) was the greatest medieval Muslim traveller and the author of one of the most famous travel books, the Riḥlah (Travels). His great work describes his extensive travels, covering some 75,000 miles (120,000 km), to almost all Muslim countries and as far as China and Sumatra (now part of Indonesia).
