Ibn Jubayr left Granada in Spain in February 1183.
He was very happy to at last perform his Hajj to Mecca. He travelled first to Africa to the Spanish port-city of Cueta near Morocco; from there he took a boat and sailed to Alexandria in Egypt. He stayed in Alexandria for several weeks because he liked the city so much. He admired the giant lighthouse at the entrance to the port, the generous sultan who gave 2,000 loaves of bread to the poor every day and the many, many mosques in the city, often four or five in the same street. He travelled on to Cairo, where he took a boat down the Nile to the town of Qus, and then travelled by camel to the coast to the Red Sea port of 'Aydhab, the modern Egypt-Sudan border. From 'Aydhab, he sailed across the Red Sea to the port of Jeddah in Arabia, from where he continued on by camel again to finally arrive in Mecca in August.
