Two brothers from the quaint town of Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, Scotland, recently arrived in the city of Madinah, Saudi Arabia, after covering a distance of 3,635 miles on bicycles to perform Haj this year and raise money for those impacted by the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip.
34-year-old Abdul Rahman and his brother, 29-year-old Reehan Ali, began their ‘Pedal 2 Haj for Gaza’ journey on April 1 and pedaled across 13 countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Lebanon.
They pedaled through diverse landscapes and cultures, driven by a strong determination to reach their sacred destination.
