Mansa Musa started from Niani, in Mali, then went through Timbuktu, the Sahara Desert, and Cairo before getting to Mecca.
Mansa Musa went to Mecca because he was Muslim. On his way he spent so much gold in Cairo that the cost of gold plummeted.
It impressed people because of those who saw the caravan.

Mansa Musa was one of the wealthiest people to ever live, some argue the wealthiest person to ever live. A famous story is that during his pilgrimage to Mecca, he stopped in Cairo for three months. Being the richest person in the world, he brought a phenomenal amount of gold with him, and while he was in Cairo he was extremely generous with it. Mansa Musa spent or gave away so much gold in those three months that it devalued gold in the city to the point where it became nearly worthless.
he felt very important and proud so on his famous pilgrimage he had a huge and wealthy caravan with him to support him and give him fame.
