Sydney to London In Pictures

Inside story

In China and Nepal

From China, our journey dips southward, yet the Himalayas remain our constant companion. Gazing upon Mount Everest, we navigate the rustic border into Nepal, arriving in Kathmandu. The ensuing days weave through Nepal and India, exploring Rajasthan before concluding this leg of the challenge in Mumbai, marking the end of an epic third chapter.

This segment of the Sydney to London Challenge encapsulates the essence of exploration—a narrative that stretches across cultures, landscapes, and histories, inviting you to be part of a story that spans continents and conjures a sense of adventure like no other.

Inside story

Saudi-Arabi

From Oman, we enter a new world: Saudi Arabia, which has only recently opened to visitors. Crossing from the United Arab Emirates, we first explore Riyadh, discovering that Saudi Arabia is not just desert but also features a lush south with high mountains and wadis.

Our journey includes two major highlights: Jeddah, with its rich cultural heritage and Red Sea coastline, and the stunning desert landscape of Wadi Rum. This trip offers a unique glimpse into Saudi Arabia’s blend of ancient traditions and modern developments.

Inside story

Jordan

Jordan awaits next, with our initial encounter being the mesmerizing desert landscape of Wadi Rum. Amidst its red rock formations and sand dunes, we find a splendid accommodation, albeit without internet, offering a stark contrast to the digital world.

Inside story

Israel

Our route may then lead us to Israel, contingent on the situation. Jerusalem, one of the world’s oldest cities, beckons with its ancient buildings and sacred sites, including the Old City, the Western Wall, Temple Mount, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Our passage through Israel concludes in Haifa, from where the vehicles are shipped to Mersin, Turkey, as we fly over the Mediterranean to reunite with them.
