A new movie has been release recently about a journey to Makkah the Islamic holiest place in Saudi Arabia.
The movie is about Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan Muslim traveler on the 14th century.
According to the movie’s official website, Ibn Battuta has traveled over 75000 miles around the globe crossing West Africa, Spain, India, China, and Maldives.
As a result of his traveling, Ibn Battuta wrote a book named it the Rihla (the trip).
It is a very interest chance to see how the producer will play the role and contribution of such a great scholar like Ibn Battuta.
Since there is no movies centers around (in Saudi) so it would takes me a while to see it.
