Ibn Jubayr (1 September 1145[1] – 29 November 1217; Arabic: ابن جبير[2]), also written Ibn Jubair, Ibn Jobair, and Ibn Djubayr, was an Arab[3] geographer, traveller and poet from al-Andalus. His travel chronicle describes the pilgrimage he made to Mecca from 1183 to 1185, in the years preceding the Third Crusade. His chronicle describes Saladin's domains in Egypt and the Levant which he passed through on his way to Mecca. Further, on his return journey, he passed through Christian Sicily, which had been recaptured from the Muslims only a century before, and he made several observations on the hybrid polyglot culture that flourished there.
