From 1333 to 1343 I stayed in Dehli because I was made a proposition with Sultan Muhummad ibn Tughluq who gave me a position as a judge.Soon after I traveled through Central India and along the Malabar coast to the Maldives. My next trip was to go to Ceylon, then back to Maldives; Bengal,Assam, and Sumatra. Then I landed in China at the port of Zayton and probably reached Peking.
Returning in between Sumatra to Malabar in 1347, I took a ship to the Persian Gulf I then revisited Baghadad,Syria,Egypt,Mecca,and Alexandria, traveled by ship to Tunis, Sardina, and Algeria, and reached Fez by an overload route in 1349. After a visit to Moslem kingdom of Granada, I made a final trip through the Sahara to the black Moslem Empire on the Niger, returning to Fez in 1354.
