The Story
When Ibn Battuta was 21, he left home in Morocco for a short trip.
The trip turned into 29 years of adventures across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
He rode camels through deserts, sailed strange seas, and stayed with kings and villagers alike.
He met elephants, tigers, snowstorms, and hundreds of new friends.
When he finally came home, he told his stories to a writer who wrote it all down.
