Mansa Musa's pilgrimage
Mansa Musa's pilgrimage was the journey of the ruler of the Mali Empire to Mecca in 1324. Accompanied by a vast retinue, he distributed so much gold, notably in Cairo, that its value there is reported to have fallen. The pilgrimage spread Mali's reputation for wealth across the Islamic world and Europe.
