Ibn Battuta - The Great Traveler - Extra History - Part 1
📜 Ibn Battuta: The Great Traveler - Ibn Battuta set out for the city of Mecca and expected to be gone for a little over two years, maybe three if he took his time. He had no way of knowing that he would not see his home city or town for another 24 years. In that time, he will have traveled almost the entirety of the Islamic world, gone for over 75,000 miles, and write a travelogue that scholars still refer to understand the world of the 15th century. He's also a bit of a narc.

He was a pioneer and a great traveller just as Marco Polo was, if not more. Congratulations on the video and research on the topic!

Not entirely correct. Many of these places had border outposts that rigidly enforced who came and went. The video itself even points out he had to meet with the Turkish Slave Empire (The Mamluks). To be fair though, this was mostly due to regulating material. Some stuff was taxed heavily while other things were illegal to bring in entirely.
