In the Middle Ages, Muslim travelers embarked on a rihla, or world tour, as surveyors, emissaries, and educators. This title assesses both the religious and philosophical aspects of travel, as well as the economic and cultural conditions that made the rihla possible. It is suitable for scholars in history, literature, and anthropology.
