Years: 1260 - 1260
…the Polos had continued their journey to Sarai, where the court of Berke Khan, the ruler of the Blue Horde, is located.
At this time, the city of Sarai—already visited by William of Rubruck a few years earlier—is no more than a huge encampment, and the Polos stay for about a year.
Finally, they decide to avoid Crimea, because of a civil war between Berke and his cousin Hulagu or perhaps because of the bad relationship between Berke Khan and the restored Empire of the Greeks.
Instead, they move further east to Bukhara, where they will remain for three years.
