Travelers and geographers who passed through Central Maghreb

Abstract

This research paper examines the scientific movement that characterized the cities of Central Maghreb during the late period of the Islamic Middle Ages, spanning from the 6th to the 9th Hijri centuries, which correspond to the 12th to the 15th centuries CE. The research focused on specific cities renowned for their scientific institutions, the brilliance of their scholars, and their abundant intellectual output. The scientific journey during the flourishing Islamic era in Central Maghreb had a significant impact on the cultural interaction among its cities, such as Béjaïa, Constantine, Tlemcen, and various regions of the Western Islamic world, and even with the countries on the northern shores of the Mediterranean Sea
