Description

Ibn-e-Battuta is considered one of the greatest travelers of all time. The Arab traveler and adventurer was a man of great vision. He set off to journey the world at the age of 20 and soon became acknowledged as a scholar and a man of great wisdom.

Each region Ibn-e-Battuta explored – Andalusia, Tunisia, Egypt, Persia, India and China – is reflected in the architecture and theme of the mall’s six courts. These courts strongly project the historical and cultural richness of this Arabian icon’s life, serving as inspiration to all those who visit.

This is the dome of the Persian section of the Ibn-e-Battuta Theme Mall in Dubai.
