Some Oxford professor made a TV documentary series, and wrote a book, about re-creating Ibn Batatu's long trip from Morocco to India & China and Saudi Arabia & lots more places. 10 wives and many concubines. Drug use. Eating full variety of sheep organs. Oud music and belly dancing.
It's called "travels with a tangerine", and Sacramento's channel 6 is airing it Wed nights at 10. I liked the first one, last week. You Bay Area Ibn Batuta fans can lobby your station or your library or video outlet.
