I am now writing this letter to one of the world’s most famous explorers of all time, the late Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Battuta, which is also just known as “Ibn Battuta”. Ibn Battuta was born on 25 February 1304 into a Muslim Berber family, in the city of Tangier in Morocco. ibn Battuta made a journey that is said to be the longest journey made, that lasted about three decades, where he visited many regions in Africa, Europe and Asia, where he managed to cover an area three times as great as Marco polo`s travels who lived about the same time. After returning to his homeland, Ibn Battuta published a book named Rehlah which means “journey”.

The thing that I want to write in this letter are about this journey, and I think that you love adventure’s, when you choose to take the long path by land, from Mecca to India instead of crossing the Arabian sea to India. Instead you went to Turkish regions and met many local rulers, and then after some travels around turkey you sailed over the black sea, and went to see the Golden Horde lands where you also met the khan of the empire, I don’t know but it seems like the khan`s wanted to meet you, but back to your journeys you then headed southeast, still on your way to India but you had some stops in central Asia, and Afghanistan until you reached the Indus valley. When you arrived at Delhi you started working there, for 10 years while travelling around India. You then followed the Malabar coast until you arrived at the Maldive islands, you went to Ceylon and from there to Sumatra until you reached China. Then, you returned to Tangier and stayed there for a few days. Suddenly you made a visit to Al-Andalus, and after that you went to some southwest regions in
