About 11 months, the Iraqi traveler Adam Muhammad spent on foot from Britain until he reached Makkah Al-Mukarramah in order to perform the Hajj this year.
The Iraqi traveler set off from Britain on August 1, 2021, heading to Mecca to perform the Hajj, after he resolved to perform this duty in a different way, so he prepared and began his journey that passed through 11 countries.
And about his decision to go for Hajj on foot, Adam says - in a previous interview with Al Jazeera Net during his stop in Istanbul - that “after imposing a curfew due to the Corona pandemic, I occupied myself with reading and understanding the Qur’an, and after a year and a half of deep study in the Qur’an I woke up one day. I woke up and found something in my chest telling me to go on foot to Mecca.”

Journey start
At first, Adam had a feeling that this idea was crazy, but his desire to implement it exceeded this feeling, so he made an easy-to-pay cart equipped with a solar cell of a small size to take him on his long journey and put on it what he needed.
Adam hired a workshop in Britain to manufacture this car, and this workshop refused to take any money from him after I learned that he intended to take it on a long journey to Hajj on foot.

The Iraqi traveler recounts that he was not subjected to any harassment during his long journey from Britain to Mecca except for being arrested by the police in many countries because of his surprising situation, stressing that this trip was made for the sake of God and not in order to record any records or draw attention.

The footage in which the Iraqi traveler appeared after his arrival in Makkah Al-Mukarramah showed that he lost a lot of weight, as he appeared in a clip of his photos at the beginning of the journey, different from the time of arrival.
The Iraqi traveler said upon his arrival in Mecca, "Hajj is my highest and dearest wish," expressing his thanks to the people of Saudi Arabia who have showered him with their generosity since his arrival in the Kingdom.
Today, during his stop in Usfan, and in the last 80 km, I met the Iraqi traveler Adam Muhammad (52 years old), who set off from Britain 10 months ago, on his feet, heading to Makkah to perform the Hajj. My wishes and the mountains of Lebanon were my suffering 🌺 pic.twitter.com/Bt5a0DcrB6

Adam Muhammad called “Peace from Britain to Mecca” on his journey to reach Mecca and Medina, and the videos that Muhammad shared on his YouTube channel and his account in “Tik Tok” show documenting some moments before his trip, including equipping a 3-wheeled cart to carry his necessary items. It has flight time.
Adam left Iraqi Kurdistan 30 years ago after he faced political harassment and was imprisoned and tortured, especially as he was serving in the Iraqi army of the former regime, and was captured in 1991 before being released, and with this harassment and pressure he fled to Turkey and from there to Britain, where he settled for long this period of time.
