Born in the city of Istakhr (in Iran), al-Iṣṭakhrī had a major influence on the development of geographical science.

His book “Al-Masalik wa al-Mamalik” (Routes and Realms) is considered one of his most significant works. It was frequently cited by medieval geographers for its rich and varied information on the Islamic regions. The book includes detailed descriptions of borders, cities, rivers, and travel routes. The researcher also noted that there is a version of this book containing 299 illustrations, including 21 maps in which al-Iṣṭakhrī attempted to depict the regions of the known world.
