  • This guy deserves a tv show with 10 seasons. He is definitely the greatest explorer in the whole world.
  • Not taught at all in schools in the UK. I introduced him to my children. What a shame how many countries in Europe and here in the UK totally skip anything to do with anyone with links to Islam.
  • Ibn battouta is too popular in japan and South Korea as well (my husband's homeland). I am Japanese and I remember reading his stories as a kid and at school as well. He was such a great inspiration for me to travel the world and live his adventures.

    Ibn Battuta quotes: “ Traveling - gives you a home in a thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land ( Home ) “ “ He who lives sees, and he who travels sees more “ “ Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller “ “ Traveling- it offers you a hundred roads to adventure, and gives your heart wings! “ “ Virtue is by reason and literature, not by origin and lineage “

    May Allah have mercy on his soul. I’m so proud that he visited my hometown. Big respect for my Moroccan 🇲🇦 brothers and sisters. Love from Somalia 🇸🇴 .
  • @m_7meedo188
    What’s draw my attention is how many rules have used him to be the judge in their towns. Tells a lot about his character.
  • @Saber23
    Ibn Battutah really was the main character of life he did all the side quests and the main story 😂❤️
  • @ghadari3027
    Ibn Battuta was probably the only explorer/traveler who’s was motivated but the thirst of knowledge and exploring and not by greed
  • As moroccan we feel so proud of him he was not only a traveller but also a Moroccan Ambassador
  • It's really sad, he didn't have the chance to tell his mom about his journey and the wonders of the world :"(
  • @kasimreports
    His frequent travel to Mecca clearly defines how much he is Strong believer
  • I plan to visit Morocco and pay my respect to this extraordinary adventurer and traveller one day in sha Allah. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇻🇳
  • @KonoozTravel
    What a spectacular voyager. I like his character. He never gave up and was always looking for new places and cultures. I'm proud that I visited his tomb in Tangier, Morocco, on 31.12.2015
  • If he had a camera he could've become the world's first travel vlogger 😂

    I made it a mission upon myself,to visit Ibn Batuta’s Tomb in the Old town of Tangier , Morocco. It took me serious traveling to get there . But I’m glad I did . I did it to pay respect and Admiration to one of the Greatest travelers who ever lived .
  • I’m from Bangladesh. Since my school days whenever I hear his name it always give me goosebumps. Ibn batuta means story of adventure during ancient times to every single kids in my country. We can’t describe any historical period of his timeline without mentioning his name as a proven evidence. He was most attractive part in every history class.
