Two Algerian men have arrived in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah on a motorcycle. They set off from their country Algeria about two months ago, specifically on October 8, towards Saudi Arabia, on their bike.

The two Algerians, Walid and Dadi, crossed 8 countries, starting from Algeria, then Tunisia and Libya, before crossing into Turkey on a cruise, and continuing their journey to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and then Saudi Arabia.

Last Hajj, a 52-year-old British pilgrim Adam Muhammad arrived in Makkah on Sunday, after completing about 11 months’ journey on foot to perform the rituals.

The Brit of Kurdistan origin was overwhelmed with joy upon his arrival at the city.

Adam said he began his journey on foot from Britain 10 months and 26 days ago, passing through 9 countries, to reach Makkah to perform Hajj this year.
