| A girl in Thar Mangalam

Aren’t you a girl, can girls travel alone? That’s all in the past. Naji Noushi is flying. Naji’s journey is a response to those who think there is something wrong with women traveling alone. Naji is also a football lover. A big fan of Lionel Messi.

Favorite team is Argentina. By road till Mumbai and then by ship and then G.C.C. Naji Noushi is expected to reach Qatar on December 10 after traveling by road through the countries.

In Naji Noushi’s two-month-long journey, only the Mahindra Thar Jeep, named ‘All’, is in the cage. It may seem surprising to hear about a woman who drives across the seven seas, but those who know Naji closely do not. Naji managed to gain attention by making three solo trips to Nepal, Everest Base Camp and Lakshadweep, seeking a lift in a lorry. A native of Mahi, Naji has lived in Oman for seven years. Naji, who is also a mother of five children, left her children with her own mother. All food and rest during the journey is in the vehicle itself. Thar is equipped with a tent to sleep in and a kitchen to cook and eat.
