Spanish Muslim Walks 9,000 km to Perform Umrah

Ishaq also encountered difficulties during the trip because of the harsh weather conditions. In one occasion, he experienced numbness in his hands and feet due to the cold.
Ishaq is not the first to travel to the holy lands on foot. In 2012, a Bosnian man arrived for the annual Hajj pilgrimage having walked 5,700 kilometers. This year a Chinese Muslim and a Russian Muslim made the journey to hajj on cycles
