Finally Dream Comes True || Umrah On Bike From Kashmir || Makkah To Madinah || Ep-23 || The Umar
Salamualaikum! They are not agreeing to let me stop here. I will stop here. What is happening? Everything was fine in the morning, when I left.
Suddenly, what’s happening? Masha Allah, just look at this. Finally! Assalamu Alaikum from Makkah Sharif, Saudi Arabia! How are you all? May Allah keep you all safe. Right now, we are leaving for Madinah Sharif. We will come back to Makkah later. That's why we haven't visited Jabal al-Nour (Cave of Hira) yet. I will show you the complete Ziyarat on our return.
Once we return from Karbala, Najaf, and Iraq. I will share more details re the room with you. I booked it for 120 Riyals for the first night. For the rest of the nights, I got it for 100 Riyals per night. One Riyal is app. 22 INR. You can calculate the exact amount or check on Google for exchange.
Don't mind the room for now, as I am busy packing. I need to load the stuff onto my bike. and then leave Mecca after visiting Haram Shareef to pay my respects. I also wish to fill my water bottle with Zam Zam, if they allow me to park. Bismillah! You all can stay tuned with me.

Al-Hind… Hindi Yeah, Alhind Speaking in Arabic...... Done! UAE is done. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Behrain, Oman, Qatar. Man speaking in Arabic........
Dubai Yeah, Al Hind.. If we talk about the weather, it’s quite sunny, Weather is pleasantly cool here. My bike is fully loaded with luggage. Alhamdulillah! There’s some extra stuff that will be adjusted on the bike gradually. This location is called Ishral-Mansur. This is the road that leads to Makkah and Haram Sharif.
We will also take our bike near Haram Sharif and then head towards Madina. Shukr! Insha Allah, In Ramadhan. Maybe it is written in our destiny to witness the blessed streets of Makkah Shareef. Perhaps you haven't seen these inner hidden streets. People live here in these houses, especially natives.
Masha Allah! Salamualaikum! Welcome to the main road! I was about to take a left turn out of habit. These small mountains you see have different names. I will share their details on my way back.
Even if I have space here, I can’t take this lane. It is only for vehicles taking a right turn. If I go on this lane, I’ll get a heavy fine. Bismillah! Oh wow! What a city! Right after this tunnel, we will enter Haram Sharif. I need to check because the police do not allow stopping here.
I hope I get Zamzam water, to take with me. Here, you will find two types of taxis: one with a proper taxi signs The second option is private cabs that operate independently, not affiliated with any company. MashaAllah! Finally, we did it! Alhamdulillah! Cars are not allowed beyond this point. This is the U-turn because, after this Haram Sharif starts.
That flyover you see is the boundary of Haram Sharif. I hope there are police officers here, to speak to. Salamualaikum! They are not allowing me to park my bike here. Brother...... Thanks to Allah, they let me stop here on request.
At first, they said I could only stay for five minutes. But when I told them where I am from, they said, "For you, we will wait half an hour." No issue. You can even pray two rakats and collect Zamzam. Alhamdulillah! We have now entered Haram Sharif. It is extremely crowded.
Huge crowd! A big thanks to my Kashmiri brother, who stood in line for me. From Sopore, Masha Allah. There is always a heavy rush here. Thank you! You pray for me too. I am short of breath. Parking my bike near Haram Shareef feels nothing less than a dream.
Al Hind... India. Camera is ON. Taken! Done. Man speaking in Arabic...... I feel a little dizzy due to the heat. I don’t know why is this happening? I forgot to wear my gloves in a hurry.
I can’t stop here, but I will pull over ahead and wear my gloves. Alhamdulillah! We are on our way to Madinah. Let me take a short break. I feel suffocated, and my legs are shaking. I need to stop I walked a lot from the entrance of Haram Sharif to the inside. It must have been around 500 meters.
I ran the entire way, and now I don’t feel well. I will stop here. I don’t know what’s happening.
I was fine when I left in the morning. What is happening all of a sudden? Don't understand what is happening with me? I stopped here for nearly half an hour and lay down for a while. I parked my bike in front of the installed cameras on the footpath.
When life is at stake, you don’t care about fines anymore. My conditioned really worsened. Maybe I didn’t drink enough water in the past two days. Allah will take care of everything, In shaa Allah! Bismillah! Bismillah! I don't know if there are cameras installed here? I will let you all know, in case I get fined.
Madinah Sharif is 431 kilometers away. It will take a long time to reach. Because I spent more than 2 hours here. Maybe walking and running too fast in Haram Sharif caused shortness of breath. I was worried about the half-hour parking limit. It is not easy to park a bike there.
People who come here know that there’s no proper parking facility near Haram. Only one vehicle is parked there, and that is the police’s. Today, there's a lot of rush, so... I don’t know, but I really appreciate that police officer. I really appreciate him because maybe he felt sympathetic towards me. When I first arrived there, he said, “No parking!" You will find parking about 1–1.5 kilometres ahead.
“You can park there.” Then, when I removed my helmet, maybe something changed in his heart. Maybe Allah put mercy in his heart for me, he allowed me to park my bike there. He said, “10 minutes.”
Then, after that, he himself said, “Not just 10 minutes, take 30 minutes. I will wait for you.” I was like, "Shukran, JazakAllah Khair." I hope I don’t fall sick on this journey. Now, I will show you Makkah Sharif from the outside. Here, straight ahead, this road takes us towards Madinah Sharif. That is, to the house of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Do you see these pigeons? When you enter Makkah Sharif, they wait to welcome you. Pardon me, for talking in a low voice. I am feeling too tired. Now, look at the mountains all around. But these mountains are not like those in Kashmir.
There are no big trees where we can sit under the shade. In the time of the Prophet (pbuh), the heat during the Hijrah was even more intense. We have covered only 90 kilometers so far. First, we will pray here. I haven’t eaten anything since morning. I will eat something and also show you some drone footage of this area.
Because this entire area is mountainous. You can feel the aura here, as described in literature and the Quran. Look at this, all of these people are either coming from Madinah Sharif to perform Umrah. ...or they have performed Umrah and are now heading toward Madinah Sharif. We'll park in the shade since the sun is intense. My head feels heavy, but I hope it gets better soon. Not a big deal. I can manage.
Right now, I was thinking of eating, but I think I’ll skip food for the day. I just saw some roasted chickpeas here, so I’ll eat those. I’ll drink Zamzam water and then move forward. After ablution and praying, I feel much better. Whenever you enter Makkah, Riyadh, or Madinah, you will find good drinking water. But in remote locations, the water is very salty. It’s not filtered.
At hotels and resting places, they provide filtered water. When you gargle with it, it feels like you ate a spoonful of salt. The weather is pleasant, but today, the sun is very strong. During this journey, we haven’t faced such heat before.
First, let’s eat something here. Salam Alaikum! How are you doing? Let’s see what I will eat. I can eat dates from here.
Dates I will eat a few dates How much does a pack of dates cost? 10 riyals... A pack of dates costs 10 riyals, which is around 230 rupees. Shukran! I’ll just eat two or three of these with some water.
Shukran, 10 riyals, right? Thank you very much! Where are you from? Yemen. Wow! How can a Yemini speak Hindi? You can speak a little hindi, Masha Allah! This brother only charged me 7 riyals instead of 10. Jazakallah u Khair! Thank you so much. Now, let’s continue our journey. Bismillah! A petrol pump is here so let's fill up our tank.
And then we move forward. Petrol tank is filled till full. Counting money..... Let's move forward. We will stop after crossing 200 kilometers and have some tea, In shaa Allah.
Then, InshaAllah, the journey should continue smoothly. Bismillah! Look at these beautiful mountains again! What a beautiful view! You can see the bare mountains all around. If I show you from a higher altitude, this land looks something like this. Barren mountains and open fields—this is the same land where our Prophet (pbuh) travelled. He used to walk through this land in the scorching heat. Imagine that!
We need to check on the way back whether we can visit this place. People often wave at us along the way. They like seeing bikes here because you rarely spot one in this region. When I entered Makkah, I didn’t see a single bike—at least not even delivery riders. And on this highway, there’s no chance of seeing bikes at all.
The journey to Madinah is like this— first, you climb mountains for 120 kilometers. Right now, we are on the top of the mountains, at the top level. There is a tower visible below us. Now, we will probably start descending. You see this camera? This is the one that captures speeding violations. It flashes just like a phone camera.
Madinah is still 286 kilometers away. I think we’ll ride for some more time. If I feel too exhausted, then I would have to stop.
Bismillah! Call to Prayer........ Alhamdulillah! In this beautiful landscape and on this blessed land, we just completed our prayers. Let's have some coffee..
I will not eat any solid food. The intensity of cold is just increasing. I will put on a sweater first.
There’s no issue here. I leave all my belongings as they are while I go for prayers. If you look behind me, let me know what you think of this view. On my left is, Wadi al Fora', which is the land for dates cultivation. It is mostly a mountains regions with a few spots for dates cultivation. Let's not waste time and move forward. Pulchritudinous scenic view.....
The darkness is about to fall . I rested a bit as I have been riding since morning and I am feeling refreshed now. Bismillah, let's move. Earlier, it was warm and now I had to put on a sweater due to cold in Medina shareef.
Let's go! We are about to reach but I am feely sleepy. Asalamualaikum Ya Rasulullah (pbuh) Masha Allah! I welcome you all to the city of Medina. It is 9 in the evening and beautiful scenic view lies ahead of us. Man talking in background... Yeah, you are in my video. You wanna show, everything you have.
Yes I am holding you. Is it done? Are you happy now? Yes Cool.. Alhamdulillah, we have reached Madinah Sharif! Now, we will stay in Madinah for three days before heading to Jordan.
Then, the journey will begin that I am a bit worried about— how Jordan will be, how Iraq will be? Our Iraq visa was very difficult to obtain, and it is only for two months. That’s why I wanted to first complete the Ziyarah in Madinah and then visit Iraq— Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf— exploring the entire country properly. After fully covering Iraq, we will enter Jordan on the way back and explore it. Then, we will re-enter Saudi Arabia and try to show you as many Ziyarahs as possible.
Stay connected with this series because there’s still a lot to see. In Shaa Allah! May this journey be smooth and successful. Today, I wasn’t feeling well, but I hope my health will be fine now, In shaa Allah. Maybe this happened because I have been sleeping very little for the past 3–4 days.
Another reason could be dehydration— I drank water but maybe not enough. I need to be careful about that. Don't mind my luggage behind me— I just brought it up in a hurry.
