He went on a 73,000 mile tour of the world, seeking to outline the Dar al-Islam, or World of Islam. During his thirty-year journey, he was able to visit most of the Islamic world. Ibn Battuta is often considered the world\u2019s greatest traveler. When he finally returned home, he composed a Rihla, or story of a quest, which is consulted to this day as a picture of medieval Islamic civilization. This project allows you to explore Ibn Battuta\u2019s travels.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colleenlnugent.com\/ibnbattuta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/03\/why-arab-scholar-ibn-battuta-is-the-greatest-explorer-of-all-times-featured-photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colleenlnugent.com\/ibnbattuta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/03\/why-arab-scholar-ibn-battuta-is-the-greatest-explorer-of-all-times-featured-photo.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.colleenlnugent.com\/ibnbattuta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/03\/why-arab-scholar-ibn-battuta-is-the-greatest-explorer-of-all-times-featured-photo-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This project features a collection of three maps to aid in your exploration of Ibn Battuta\u2019s travels.
