Welcome to episode three of our series on travels of Ibn Battuta. In this episode, we will look into his journey across the region of North Africa or commonly known as the Maghreb in the Islamic World.
If you have not completed the previous two episodes, we suggest you do so before starting this episode and with that said let's dive into today's episode.
An Arab scholar of Islam, social scientist, philosopher and historian who has been described as the founder of the modern disciplines of historiography, sociology, economics, and demography, Abd Ar Rahman bin Muhammed ibn Khaldun, famously said:
"A scholar's education is greatly improved by travelling in quest of knowledge and meeting the authoritative teachers (of his time)."
On 14 June 1325 Ibn Battuta rode out of Tangier and headed southeastward through the Eastern Rif's highlands to join the main caravan road that ran from Fez to Tlemcen. He was 21 years old and eager for more learning, and more adventure, than his native city, could hope to give him.
Thanks for watching episode three of our series on Travels of Ibn Battuta. Stay tuned for episode four where we will look into his journey through the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt, Palestine and Syria.
