Ibn Battuta travelled the entire Islamic world centuries ago but he wasn’t an Arab, he was a Berber.

It only took the A-rabs 4,000 years to sail the world, but then again it’s not like a majority of ethnic groups can say they have someone who’s done the same.

I’m just glad there weren’t any skyscrapers for him to crash into.
