The Travels of Imam Bukhari
ImamMohammed Al-Bukhari is considered one of the most distinguished scholars of Hadith in
Islamic history. His book, Sahih al-Bukhari, in which the Prophet's words, actions, and habits
were collected, is one of the greatest sources of prophetic influence in history. Even though this
is not an “official” tourism corridor, it can be seen as the biggest influence on Muslim travel in
the region.
