This visualization was created using a dataset I built myself. Through close reading of Ross E. Dunn’s book, I created a dataset of every single location that Ibn Battuta mentioned traveling to in the Rihla. This dataset was bolstered with relevant coordinates and date visited, in order to create a map demonstrating the trajectory of Ibn Battuta’s journey. Specifically, I included a column in the spreadsheet that ordered the locations to reflect his journey according to his journals.
