The Arab explorers Ibn Battuta's adventures began in 1325, when he set out from his home town of Tangier in Morocco. He was so bitten by the travel bug that he didn't return home again until 1349!
[Ibn Battuta wrote a book about his travels, but his memory wasn't always that good. He said he'd seen hippos with horse-like heads, and that the pyramids were cone-shaped!]
