 * I grew up in Morocco. But when I was older I decided to start traveling. I dress in silk clothes that cover all of my arms. I eat things like dried berries and grain, especially because I am always traveling. I celebrate things like Muharran (Islamic New Year) and Mawlid al-Nabi (Muhammad's birthday).[[image:http://www.studentholidays.com/morocco/image/morocco.gif width="205" height="218"]] ||

 * //In 1326, I was crossing the Arabian Desert when I saw a few people. I joined them on their journey across the desert. With the people was the Mongol khan Abu Said. Also their were a few lower rulers.

In 1332, after I traveled to the Persian Gulf, a new idea came to my mind. After I heard about Muhammad ibn Tughluq's kindness to Muslim scholar's, I decided to try court.//

When I was around twenty years old I was crossing Egypt. While I was there a passion of traveling was born. I decided to make myself a rule about traveling. My rule was that I would never take the same path to anywhere. ||
