7. Hajj

Mansa Musa was a Muslim and, as is the case with other Muslims, he made the Hajj. The Hajj is a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city, Mecca, located in what is now Saudi Arabia. With Musa being as powerful and as rich as he was, his pilgrimage was somewhat more opulent than those made by other Muslims.

When Musa set off on the Hajj, he took with him a caravan of 60,000 people to carry everything he needed. He had slaves to carry his gold and around 80-100 camels carrying gold dust. It was a journey that was talked about far and wide.
