November 1844: The Báb journeyed by camel from Jaddih for Mecca – took about a month

…He [the Báb] donned the pilgrim’s garb, mounted a camel, and set out for Mecca, arriving on the first of Dhi’l-Ḥajjih (December 12). Quddús, holding the bridle in his hands, accompanied his Master on foot to that holy Shrine. 
- Shoghi Effendi  (Chapter 1, ‘God Passes By)
