Nabil Ennasri left France on April 22 to reach Mecca. He has just arrived in Turkey after traveling 2,850 kilometers and crossing 10 different countries. “My first objective is to explain global warming, it is very important for our children and future generations. My second goal is to go to Mecca by reviving the ancient tradition, I want to revive this tradition by bicycle. When you go to Mecca on horseback, on foot or by bicycle, you do not feel the same emotions as when you take the plane. We get to know each other better, “he explains to the correspondent ofAnadolu.

The writer intends to take a plane from Turkey to reach Jordan. Arrived in Jordan, he will continue his journey by bicycle. Going to Mecca by bike is a way for Ennasri to experience a traditional or even family practice. “This was the case not only 200 years ago, but also 50 years ago. Some members of my family also traveled on foot. It could have taken months or even years. Some of them lost their lives during the journey. When I remember these moments, I find the strength in me: you feel the pilgrimage better when you take a bike trip that lasts weeks instead of flying in a few hours,” he added.
