Camels, sailboats and poultry trucks: One man's no-fly journey around the world

2 days ago

Egyptian traveler Omar Nok is on a global journey without flying, aiming to experience the world more deeply by using unconventional transportation like sailboats, camels, and buses.
He left Cairo in October 2025 and has traveled through countries like Libya and Tunisia, facing challenges such as visa issues and risky border crossings, often aided by local friends and social media followers.
Nok documents his journey on social media, gaining nearly a million followers, and finds inspiration in restoring faith in humanity through his travels, emphasizing connections with people over politics.
His journey includes island-hopping in the Caribbean after sailing from the Canary Islands, with plans to head to Latin America despite logistical hurdles, all while avoiding air travel entirely.
