Ibn Battuta is noted as the greatest medieval Muslim traveler/explorer. Ibn was born on the 24th of February 1304.
Ibn's travels were motivated by the fascination in finding the best teachers and libraries, which were in Alexandria, Cairo and Damascus at the time. Ibn also started his travels by a mission that he undertook to Mecca.
Ibn Battuta was chosen as a research topic because he traveled to almost all of the Muslim countries, China, and Sumatra which are very long distances to travel alone.
Ibn's travels were very impactful because Ibn covered most of the known Islamic world and even further.
