I think you're teasing now...where was this place that Ibn Battuta went to?
Yes, I'm also curious to know how much time Ibn Battuta spent at the mall! haha
I know I sound like a broken record, but this reminds me of Las Vegas. The shopping centers at New York New York, Paris and Caesar's Palace look the same.
You're both right. I can't think of any place that looked like this in the 14th century. Apparently they're going to make a film about Battuta's travels with Harrison Ford playing the lead.
Great colors, especially for the sky!
Nowadays has become a common practice to create fictional place, with fake-simulated architectures, where people can enjoy the wonder of shopping culture.
Here in Rome we have one, in the suburbs, reproducing the historical center of the city. As to say: you don't need to travel,we have everything (even architectures) , just come here and spend your money.
