Anniston-Oxford, AL (1888PressRelease) July 12, 2017 - The Moroccan Association of Ibn Battuta has selected the theme that will guide the development of the event program and activities of the association’s 2nd International Festival of Ibn Battuta, scheduled November 9-12, 2017 at the city of Tangier in Morocco.

Mohamed Dekkak, the Honorary Chairman of the Association, says the theme – “Travelers, the Ambassadors of Peace”, was chosen to promote how the culture of traveling can be a driver of PEACE. As travel widens a person’s understanding of the world, the festival encourages travelers into playing the role as ambassadors of peace and to have a deeper understanding of the vast cultural diversities.

The association President Aziz Benami states, “This event is an excellent opportunity to shed light on Ibn Battuta’s travels, and adventures. It’s also a great chance to present the ideas he developed after his travels that convey values such as wisdom and courage, which made him an outstanding character.”

Traveling can lead to many significant discoveries just like Ibn Battuta, a curious young man who traveled the world for almost 30 years. At the end his journey, he has contributed immensely in the area of travel literature and geography.
