Read this description about Mansa Musa’s visit to Cairo. It was written by Al-Umari.

From the beginning of my coming to stay in Egypt I heard talk of the arrival of this sultan Musa on his Pilgrimage and found the [people of Cairo] eager to [tell of his visit]. I asked the emir Abu . . . and he told me of the opulence, manly virtues, and piety of his sultan. “When I went out to meet him . . . he did me extreme honour and treated me with the greatest courtesy. . . . Then he forwarded to the royal treasury many loads of unworked native gold and other valuables. I tried to persuade him to go up to the Citadel to meet the sultan, but he refused persistently saying: “I came for the Pilgrimage and nothing else. I do not wish to mix anything else with my Pilgrimage.”
