On Monday night, when most of us were still recovering from the New Year hysteria, 30-year-old Emirati Jalal Bin Thaneya completed an excruciating two-week journey through his motherland. To honour the UAE and support children with special needs, Thaneya had embarked on a journey across all the seven emirates on foot. Yes you read the last two words right.
Raising awareness one step at a time, his Twitter page documents the inspiring story of his long and exhausting trek that ended on the Corniche in Fujairah at 8:30pm, Monday. A giant leap for the UAE as he now eyes an official Guinness record.

Ive completed my journey of crossing the seven Emirates on foot from point to point,for special needs at 8:30 on the Corniche in Fujeirah. pic.twitter.com/pX4NAutP8m - Jalal BinThaneya (@Binthaneya) January 2, 2017The journey was no mean feet. There were times when Thaneya walked through empty desert highways with no garages, no food, no water and no people in sight.
On the Gwaifat/Abu Dhabi highway there are no services,no garages,no food,no water and no people. It's a long empty desert highway. - Jalal BinThaneya (@Binthaneya) January 3, 2017
The highway was made and engineered for travel in a motor vehicle. Any person attempting to run across the highway would face difficulties - Jalal BinThaneya (@Binthaneya) January 3, 2017At times, he ate less than 1,000 calories in two days, but still continued to sweat out, literally.
During the journey 2 of my support vehicles failed,I ran for 2 days eating less than 1,000 calories & showered for 6 days with bottled water - Jalal BinThaneya (@Binthaneya) January 3, 2017

"My mental stamina is 930 but my body and strength are at its worst," he wrote in one of his tweets.

Mental stamina is 930 but my body and strength is at its worst. I'm close to Masafi and I'm starting to feel the signs of fatigue. pic.twitter.com/LnHeuff9hT - Jalal BinThaneya (@Binthaneya) January 1, 2017
Please note that the distance calculator isn't accurate-from my experience it adds many kilometers and exaggerates time required to reach pic.twitter.com/jCuObgw1Aw - Jalal BinThaneya (@Binthaneya) January 1, 2017
