Travelogues are historically oriented texts that record the observations of their authors in regards to geographical and cultural issues. In many cases these texts, which are also accompanied by analyses and can provide researchers with a plethora of historical information for their sociological studies, are in the present era largely overlooked. The paper at hand applies itself to the study of the culture of Muslim societies from the perspective of Ibn Baṭūṭah. He writes not only about cities, sacred places, and schools, but also provides descriptions and analyses of the culture of various people. Some of these treatises pertain to things such as the way of life of the mystics, a critique of Ibn Taymiyyah, an accurate analysis of the interactions of the blacks of Tanzania, and the custom of burning widows in India
