I watched the first two episodes of a British TV documentary series where Tim Mackintosh-Smith retraces the footsteps of 14th Century Moroccan scholar Ibn Battuta, who covered 75,000 miles, 40 countries and three continents in a 30-year odyssey. He was islam’s and perhaps the world’s greates traveller.
Excellent!
