Ibn Battuta, the 14th-century Moroccan explorer from Tangiers, traveled over 75,000 miles and visited over 40 countries across Africa, Asia, and Europe, documenting many cultures, kingdoms, and strange adventures. Here’s a map re-tracing his odyssey from 1325 to 1354.

probably because those islamic explorers didn't have very flattering descriptions of europeans lol

"They lack a warm sense of humor; their bodies are large, their character is coarse, their customs rude, their minds dull and their tongues heavy. Their skin color is of such an extreme white that they appear blue. Their skin is thin and their flesh rough. Their eyes, too, are blue and similar to their skin color; their hair is smooth and reddish due to the damp fog. Their religious beliefs are unreliable, which can be traced to the type of coldness and lack of warmth. The further north they reside, the dumber, more vile and primitive they are."

It’s called the rihla but if you are looking for it watch out because there are several heavily edited versions and several books about his book . 

I read this in college and a surprising number of chapters ended with, "the locals needed a qadi, so I stepped up and judged for a while, but I was gassed so I went to the slave market and picked myself up a nice slave girl."
