Ibn Battuta Mall by Dubai Retail

This guide to Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai follows two travelers who never met: the medieval engineer al-Jazari, who built an elaborate elephant clock in 1206 blending four civilizations into one machine, and Ibn Battuta, the young Moroccan who set out for Mecca in 1325 and kept traveling for thirty years across Egypt, Persia, India and China, serving six years as a judge in Delhi. Watch the clock's hidden mechanisms as you wait for it to mark the half hour.
