Top Five Moments 

1. University; Mansa Musa found the remains of an old university in Timbuktu. He made the decision to restore it to it's former glory and more.
2. Berbers; Mansa Musa was worried his caravan would not have enough water to make it to a desert oasis. Luckily, they encountered some Berbers and purchased some of their water.
3. Visit; Mansa Musa met with the Egyptian Sultan. The appearance of the worn-down Sultan shocked Musa. He made the decision to abdicate the throne to his son when he returned.
4. Voyage; Mansa Musa sailed on a boat for his first time. He did not necessarily enjoy it, but it was not as bad as he expected. Since the ruler before him lost his life to the sea, he was understandably apprehensive.
5. Hajj; Mansa Musa completed the Islamic Hajj. He reaffirmed his Islamic faith and he fell in love with Mecca, which cemented his decision to abdicate and return to Mecca afterward.
