Beginning his journey at the start of Ramadan in March, Al Razqi pedaled across nine countries — including Germany, Austria, Italy, and Bosnia and Herzegovina — enduring diverse weather conditions, steep climbs, and moments of solitude, Gulf News reported.

“This is a dream. I didn’t believe I would be in Makkah,” Al Razqi told Saudi TV channel Al Ekhbariya after arriving at the Halat Ammar border crossing near Jordan.

“I feel blessed to have arrived in the kingdom.”

Crossing into Saudi Arabia was an emotional experience for the young cyclist. “It’s hard to describe,” he said.

“I felt I was approaching a dream I’ve cherished for years. Now, I just want to reach the closest point to the Kaaba and see it for the first time.”

Throughout the journey, Al Razqi found strength not just in physical endurance, but in the kindness of strangers along the way.

“They kept me going,” he told Saudi news portal Sabq, referring to the sincere prayers and warm smiles of people he met throughout his route.

His inspirational feat captured the attention of Arabic media, with footage of his arrival shared widely online.

Al Razqi’s journey adds to a growing trend of pilgrims undertaking long and unconventional routes to Hajj — a testament to their devotion and spiritual determination.
