Mansa Musa's pilgrimage to Mecca, known as the Hajj, significantly elevated the status of Cairo as a cultural and economic hub. His lavish spending during the journey, including the distribution of gold, not only showcased the wealth of the Mali Empire but also led to inflation in the local economy. This pilgrimage established diplomatic ties and cultural exchanges between Mali and the Islamic world, enhancing Cairo's role as a center of trade and learning. Ultimately, it helped solidify Mansa Musa's legacy as a powerful and influential ruler.

Sundiata and Mansa Musa were similar because they both benefited Mali in a good way. They were different because Sundiata wasn't Muslim but Mansa Musa was. Mansa Musa also brought Mali to its peak and did a hajj (on his way gave about 30,000 pounds of gold to Egypt).
