They are available in the museum of Tangier. The city where Ibn Batuta was born and also where he was buried (1304-1369).

So, basically his books are used as references for researches nowadays. Especially his book: The Rihla (The Journey).
Worked as a judge in Morocco, in India and in Maldives (Maldives converted to Islam because of Morocco), and also he worked as an Islamic law teacher in Egypt.

Over a period of thirty years, Ibn Battuta visited most of the Old World, including Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, China, and the Iberian Peninsula (Southern Iberia which was under Morocco's rule; from 711 AD to 1492 AD).
He left home at the age 18 and was only back at the age of 45.
First journey: 1325-1332
Second journey: 1332-1346
In the year 1349, he was finally at home in Tangier, Morocco, but found that his parents passed away 15 years ago.
Nothing to keep him home...so, he went on a new journey, and the final one: 1349-1354.
It is said that when he came back to Tanja (Tangier), Morocco, he worked as a judge till he died in the year 1369.
