An Emirati influencer, marathoner and executive director of the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) has been honoured for taking (and successfully completing) an unprecedented challenge of running from Abu Dhabi to the holy city of Mecca for 2070km.

He embarked on this arduous journey on February 1 from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi and ran for 40 days covering more than 55 to 70km in a day.

“I must say that this journey has been the greatest experience I could have asked for,” said he in an Instagram post
