Which of the following statements is true about Ibn Battuta’s travels?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option 1: He may have travelled as far as Russia
While Ibn Battuta’s journeys covered many known regions, some accounts suggest he might have also visited Russia, though this is debated by historians.
Ibn Battuta was an inveterate traveller who spent several years travelling through north Africa, West Asia and parts of Central Asia (he may even have visited Russia), the Indian subcontinent and China, before returning to his native land, Morocco. When he returned, the local ruler issued instructions that his stories be recorded.
