Ibn Jubayr
Early examples of travel literature include Pausanias' "Description of Greece" in the 2nd century CE, Safarnama (book of Travels) of Nasir Khusraw (1003-1077) the "Journey Through Wales" (1191) and "Description of Wales" (1194) by Gerald of Wales, and the travel journals of Ibn Jubayr (1145–1214) and Ibn Battuta (1304–1377), both of whom recorded their travels across the known world in detail. The travel genre was a fairly common genre in medieval Arabic literature.
