Magdy Eissa, a 45-year-old man from Egypt, has set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the fastest visit to all seven wonders of the world. Eissa accomplished this remarkable feat in just 6 days, 11 hours, and 52 minutes, surpassing the previous record held by Englishman Jamie McDonald by a margin of 4.5 hours.
Eissa began his whirlwind journey at the Great Wall of China. From there, he traveled to India to see the ivory-white marble mausoleum, the Taj Mahal. His next stop was the rose-red city of Petra in Jordan, followed by Rome’s iconic Colosseum. He then journeyed to Brazil to marvel at Christ the Redeemer’s outstretched arms, continued to the lost city of Machu Picchu in Peru, and finally concluded his expedition at the ancient Mayan metropolis of Chichén Itzá in Mexico.
Guinness World Records shared Eissa’s achievement on Instagram, highlighting the grueling and intricate logistics involved in such a journey. To fulfill his childhood dream, Eissa was restricted to using only public transport, which included flights, buses, trains, subways, and walking between transportation hubs and the Wonders.
“I had to navigate a complex web of flights, trains, buses, subways, and walking between transportation hubs and the Wonders. A single disruption could derail the entire itinerary and result in a flight back home!” Eissa told GWR. Despite these challenges, his meticulous planning and determination paid off, allowing him to achieve this extraordinary record.
