Al-Ghazālī’s Travels
I used the World Gazetteer. The geo coordinates differ than the ones quoted in Wikipedia which is of some concern.
Cities Ghazali visited:
- Birth TUS (near Mashhad= 36.27ºN – 59.57ºE)
- Jurjan (the first trip for learning) (36.83°N – 54.48°E). Elsewhere I claimed this might not be possible
- Nishapur (36.22°N – 58.82°E)
- Camp of Nizam al-mulk:
- Baghdad (33.33°N – 44.44°E)
- Damascus ( 33.50°N – 36.32°E)
- Jerusalem (31.78°N – 35.22°E)
- Alexandria (31.22°N – 29.95°E) – We are not sure he ever made it this far.
- Mecca (21.43° N – 39.82°E
- Medina (24.48°N – 39.59°E)
- Damascus ( 33.50°N – 36.32°E)
- Jerusalem (31.78°N – 35.22°E)
- Hebron (31.54°N – 35.09°E)
- Baghdad (33.33°N – 44.44°E)
- TUS (36.27ºN – 59.57ºE)
- Nishapur (36.22°N – 58.82°E)
- Final Return: TUS (36.27ºN – 59.57ºE)
