Ibn Battuta was born in Tangiers, Morocco in the early 14th century, to a family of qadis (judges). He was educated in jurisprudence and literature before embarking to Mecca for hajj at the age of 21. Along the way, he planned to enrich and broaden his education by furthering his studies in Egypt, Syria and the Hejaz.
After completing his pilgrimage, Batutta decided to keep traveling and so he did for 29 years, starting in Baghdad and venturing into Sub-Saharan Africa, India and Far East Asia, covering a distance of 75,000 miles.
On his journey, Batutta was able to earn a living serving as a judge and scholar wherever he found himself. He also began to gain a reputation simply as a traveler and was welcomed by people wherever he went. When he returned to Morocco, he recorded his experience in collaboration with Ibn Juzayy, a young literary scholar. The result was Al-Rihla.
“I set out alone, having neither fellow-traveler in whose companionship I might find cheer, nor caravan whose party I might join, but swayed by an overmastering impulse within me and a desire long-cherished in my bosom to visit these illustrious sanctuaries. So, I braced my resolution to quit all my dear ones, female and male, and forsook my home as birds forsake their nests. My parents being yet in the bonds of life, it weighed sorely upon me to part from them, and both they and I were afflicted with sorrow at this separation.”
