The greatest traveler of the muslim world is a good book as it talk about Ibn Battuta amazing travelers in his travel logs.The only main character in his travel logs was himself as he talks about his great adventures around upper egypt.This book is great for people who are interested in history and other cultures as it is like going on an adventure with him.A theme you can take from this book is to never give up, as he got robbed during his adventures but that didn’t stop him.
