Cross-country traveller, Omar Nok, is trending on social media after completing an overland journey from Cairo to Japan. He reached his final destination in Tokyo after 247 days, travelling 46,239 kilometres.
Cairo-born Omar Nok has become a social media sensation after he completed an overland journey from Egypt to Japan.
The 30-year-old adventurer spent 247 days travelling more than the circumference of the earth, using several means of transportation, except airplanes, to get to his destination.
"Some people would give me rides. I took a camel once, took a horse twice. I was on the back on a motorcycle as well," he said in an interview in Tokyo.
His journey, spanning across a dozen countries and 46,239 kilometre (28,732 miles), has attracted more than 750,000 followers on Instagram, where he documents sights and sounds from his adventures.
Despite his previous accomplishments with lengthy trips through Europe and the Americas, the former financial analyst for Amazon in Germany and Luxembourg says this trip represents the furthest he could travel in Asia without getting a plane. It was also aided by the sharp weakening of the yen, making Japan a bargain travel destination.
Japan has attracted nearly 27 million visitors who have spent a record 5.86 trillion yen ($37.58 billion) from January to September this year.
