JOURNEY TO MECCA tells the incredible story of one of the greatest travelers in world history, Ibn Battuta. In 1325 Battuta left his home in Morocco to perform the Hajj and did not return for almost 30 years, having traveled three times farther than Marco Polo. His perilous journey resonates with adventure while presenting an unforgettable picture of Islamic civilization during the 14th century.
Audiences will move seamlessly through the centuries to experience never-before-seen footage of the Hajj as it appears today. Narrated by Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, Journey to Mecca marks the fi rst and only time an IMAX camera has captured an aerial view of the Hajj or been admitted into the most sacred sanctuary of Islam—the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Endorsed by world religious leaders, Journey to Mecca will captivate audiences with the epic journey of Ibn Battuta and glorious views of the most spectacular gathering of people on Earth.
Directed by Bruce Neibaur
Produced by Taran Davies, Dominic Cunningham-Reid, Jonathan Barker
