Narrator, Ben Kingsley.
The amazing story of Ibn Battuta, the greatest explorer of the Old World, following his first pilgrimage between 1325 and 1326 from Tangier to Mecca. His perilous journey resonates with adventure while presenting an unforgettable picture of Islamic civilization during the 14th century, culminating with Ibn Battuta's first Hajj. The story is book-ended by a close-up look at the contemporary Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca that draws three million Muslims from around the world.
DVD, widescreen.

Very interesting! submitted by Margaretta on July 25, 2011, 11:57am Very interesting!

Simply Breathtaking! submitted by halalheather on July 1, 2012, 7:24pm This is one of the best documentaries I've seen on Mecca and though it is fiction, it is well filmed and acted. I found it a personally inspiring and beautiful film.
