The Travels of ibn Jubayr

[The Travels of ibn Jubayr] The Travels of ibn Jubayr : a Mediaeval Spanish Muslim visits Makkah, Madinah, Egypt, cities of the Middle East and Sicily

By: Ibn Jubayr / Tr: Roland J.C. Broadhurst

Written more than eight hundred years ago and now translated into English, this is the first-hand account of a wise and scholarly Spanish Muslim’s pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah, the holy cities of Islam, and of his travel to Baghdad, the city of the Caliphs, to the first onslaught of Saladin, and to the island of Sicily at its most splendid Norman–Saracen period under the dynasty of Norse brigands.
