Famed 14th century Moroccan traveller, Ibn Battuta, set out in 1325 from his native Tangier on an epic journey to Mecca. By the time he returned 29 years later he had travelled the world from West Africa to Spain, India, China and the Maldives, covering some 75,000 miles.

His perilous and adventurous journey presents an unforgettable picture of Islamic civilization during the 14th century, culminating with Ibn Battuta's first Hajj. The film also offers a close-up look at the contemporary Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca that draws three million Muslims from around the world.

Told through the magic of IMAX, Journey to Mecca is the story of one of history's most amazing adventures.
