In Episode 8 of the Hajj 2026 Training Camp, the speaker provides essential practical tips regarding footwear and the intense physical demands of the Hajj journey. He advises pilgrims to always take a photo of the shoe rack number when entering Masjid-e-Nabawi to avoid losing their footwear among thousands of identical racks. Furthermore, he shares real-life fitness tracking data, revealing that pilgrims easily walk 11 to 17 km daily in Madinah just to attend prayers.
