Dubai Tour day 6 – Souvenirs from IBN Battuta Mall

1304 - 1369 [exploration, travel] Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta was a world traveler. He travels along a 75,000 mile voyage from Morocco to China and back. These journeys covered much of the Old World, extending from North Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the west, to the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the east, a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessors and his near-contemporary Marco Polo.

 

 

 

 

PENJELAJAH MUSLIM LEBIH DAHULU TIBA DI AMERIKA SEBELUM COLUMBUS Christopher Columbus menyebut Amerika sebagai ‘The New World’ ketika pertama kali menginjakkan kakinya di benua itu pada 21 Oktober 1492. Namun, bagi umat Islam di era keemasan, Amerika bukanlah sebuah ‘Dunia Baru’. Sebab, 603 tahun sebelum penjelajah Spanyol itu menemukan benua itu, para penjelajah Muslim dari Afrika Barat telah membangun peradaban di Amerika.
