About this episode
For today's episode, we travel to North Africa, to the city of Tangier, in present-day Morocco, to meet a distinguished writer, philosopher, and above all, traveler, whom we could call the "Arab Marco Polo."We see that from a very young age, Ibn Battuta was passionate about reading, especially works related to geography and all kinds of travel books. Being wealthy, on June 13, 1325, he set off for Mecca with the intention of fulfilling the pilgrimage required of every Muslim to visit the holiest city in Islam.
