During his trip, Nufal will cross 5,000 km (3,000 miles) across Jordan, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. However, the biker will fly over war-torn Syria for security reasons.
�It is about the road more than the arrival,� Nufal told Reuters Television. �If it were just about the World Cup, I would take a plane. It is a great chance for me to see new things.�
A group of Nufal�s friends in Cairo rode their bikes behind him to see him off.
