Since Shihab was arguably the first guy to make the Haj pilgrimage from Kerala in the twenty-first century on foot, many vloggers are highlighting his journey.

As he had to cross the international borders, he had already prepared the required paperwork and applied for the visas to enter the countries beforehand.
What Is His Health Condition?
Since Shihab is in excellent condition despite continuously walking for almost 50 days, he said that he wanted to continue his journey without putting any pressure on his body, so he walked only 25 kilometers per day. He carried very little luggage with him to ease the travel. He needs to stay hydrated and maintain a proper diet to prevent health-related complications on the journey.
He traversed the borders of Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra and now has entered Gujrat. As per reports, he will enter Pakistan via Wagah Border. To go to Saudi Arabia, travelers must first pass via Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait. There are numerous holy locations to explore on the journey before reaching Saudi Arabia.
