Al-Bakri

Al-Bakri was a Spanish Arab historian and geographer from the 11th century known for his detailed writings about North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. His works, such as "Book of Routes and Realms," provide valuable insights into the cultures, geography, and history of the regions he described. Al-Bakri's observations help us understand medieval Muslim societies, their trade routes, cities, and landscapes, making his contributions important for historical and geographic studies of that era.
