A bit tricky to find in the Medina, but don't expect to find a building full of tributes. The Tomb seems locked away and there is no access inside, so its best to treat it as a memorial and just read the outside info on why the guy was a somebody.

Ibn Battuta (ibn battouta in French) is famous in history. As a kid I learned about him at school in History & Geography classes. So I was eager to visit his resting place.
