Walking long distances in desert conditions requires basic physical preparation. Participants are encouraged to begin light walking routines, improve hydration habits, and wear comfortable walking shoes before the journey. Regular exercise and preparation can help reduce fatigue and allow participants to focus more on reflection, prayer, and the spiritual aspects of the experience.
