The Scientific Impact of Journeys in the Islamic West

Abstract

Among the characteristics of urban development and scientific advance, we find the scientific journeys of scholars between the knowledge centers in the Islamic world in order to find and acquire knowledge. This led to a big scientific activity in the Islamic state. We took a model of these scientific journeys that is the domain of the Islamic Occident during the medieval era, and determined its effect on the extension of the cultural ties. The Islamic world had been linked with various relationships, mainly Andalusia and the Maghreb, in the cultural side. The main cause of extending the cultural relationships was the scientific journeys between the quarters of the Islamic world during the medieval age.
