Arab Weather - Have you ever imagined that you would cross the world across three continents without using any means of transportation, not even boats ?! This is the longest road in the world that can be traveled on foot, as the road extends through Africa, Asia and Europe , and you will not even need to use a boat because the entire path consists of roads and bridges, so how is this possible?

The longest walking route extends approximately 22,387 kilometers, starting in South Africa and ending in the far northeast of Russia, so that the journey takes about 587 days on foot for a person walking 8 hours a day, or 194 days of continuous walking without stopping (which is not possible Practically), and the traveler crosses this route through 17 countries and 6 time zones, and the traveler also witnesses several seasons and seasons during the trip.

details of the trip

Departing from Cape Town in South Africa, this connected route passes through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, Georgia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Romania, and Belarus.

The trip may include many challenges due to the path passing through some dangerous locations, such as the cities of Africa, which have high crime rates, and then the next stop in Zimbabwe, a country known for its diverse wildlife and difficult terrain.

Then the road passes through Mozambique and Zambia, followed by Uganda, where you will cross the national parks, then you will enter southern Sudan, which is one of the most dangerous areas in the world, where certain parts witness armed conflicts, robberies and other crimes, and upon entering Sudan it will require crossing the Sahara Desert, and after walking Across all of Egypt, the path enters first Jordan, then Palestine, and then Syria, which is witnessing a civil war.

Once out of Syria, you will walk through Turkey, then Georgia, and finally reach Russia, and experience the harsh Siberian winters while walking through its territory, on your way to Magadan, which ends the path.

(If someone makes it to Magadan while they are on this road, you will receive them in this scene)

Is it really possible for a person to cross this road?

Long-distance adventurers such as George Megan, Fiona Campbell, Stephen Newman and Dave Kunst set impressive walking records around the world, but with this longest hiking trail recently discovered from South Africa to Russia, there is still no one who has crossed the world on foot. Across this road.

As interesting as the route may seem, it passes through unstable countries and civil wars, and some countries may impose additional visa restrictions, compounded by the fact that an exceptional set of equipment and survival skills may be required due to changing temperatures and terrain. And the difficulty of availability of food on the way.
