Motivated by a desire to visit Islamic holy sites, particularly the Hajj to Mecca, he also aimed to learn about diverse cultures and expand his understanding of the Islamic world. His journeys allowed him to document a wide array of societies and practices, contributing significantly to historical knowledge of the regions he visited.
