How did Ibn Battuta's travels differ significantly from those undertaken by Marco Polo during this period (1200-1450)?
Ibn Battuta traveled extensively across Islamic regions while Marco Polo's journey focused primarily on East Asia and Central Asia along Silk Road routes.
Marco Polo never returned to his homeland while Ibn Battuta did.
While Ibn Battuta explored only known territories, Marco Polo discovered unknown lands for Europeans like India and China.
Unlike Marco Polo who travelled by sea, Ibn Battuta travelled only overland.
