That's the route my dad used to go to school
Lmao cool
_Uphill_ both ways, too!
Computings So your dad drove you from Portugal to Siberia or from Siberia to Portugal?
LOL SAME
My dad crossed the Darién Gap to get to school
The longest route is Bucharest Airport to city center, if you take a taxi and you don't speak Romanian.

🤔 so the longest driving road is actually 80% a drive across Russia
It's not as much as it seems because of map projections making Russia bigger, but yeah pretty much
Samuel Voltz probably a flat earther 😂😂😂
@@eamonnculliton100 what? he's literally right though
@@eamonnculliton100 well you should know that maps don't show real sizes
@@vandalic8566 Well, he is not. The map projections problem matters North to South, so the northern part of Russia appears bigger than it actaully is. As the route goes West to East it is not influenced by that map projection issue.
*to the car salesmen*
"Would you mind if I do a quick test drive?"
hahahha
This comment made me laugh out loud for real 😁
Me in Portugal: Would you mind if I do a quick test drive?
(Eight days later when I return to Portugal via plane)
Car salesman: So where is the car?
Me: Oh I parked it right next to the Kim Jong-Un’s statue at the North-Korean/Russian customs checkpoint
Ok you’ve got 10 minutes Me: I am speed
I’ll make a U turn at the end of the road
“6 days... it’s not even CLOSE!”
“So what is the longest route?”
“6 days...... AND 19 HOURS!1!!”
Suzy Q
Ikr.
LegoGuy87 in comparison to 6 days yes lol 😂
Bwahahhahahahaa i also thought of this to be so stupid
LegoGuy87 yeah but if you’re already driving for 6 days (which is 144 hours), 19 hours is a piece of cake. 19 hours is like 13% of the trip, so if he says “6 days, it’s not even close!”, you’d expect a few more days. 19 hours is not even a whole day, so I feel like it’s kind of a bummer
Including stops, I have driven 21 hours in one stretch. Did that twice.

There’s a longer one. You can drive from Capetown to Cairo and then Cairo to Khasan Russia crossing the Suez Canal by bridge. They already said bridges were legal at the Panama Canal. There appears to be a problem at Lake Nubia where you have to take a ferry (according to Google maps), but if you go straight at the Al Multaqa cafeteria instead of turning right as Google maps shows, you can stay on the left side of the Nile most of the way and avoid the ferry. This trip would be 14,099 miles, 5373 miles further than their example. Not good for a premier.
Thank you. His reasoning for disqualifying Africa didn't really make sense.
The Cape to Cairo route is well trodden by bikers, and you don't need to take any ferries, just cross bridges and many borders. This video is misleading and wrong
Need to keep in mind that the video was made almost 4 years ago
And you can cross border on khasan to NK

ROUND TRIP
The route from Pointe-Noire in Kongo to the same place in Russia is actually longer. By 7302 km.... (It also takes 12 days to travel according to Google maps...)
Yes, we "can't" drive from the very tip of Africa due to a ton of rivers without bridges, but that doesn't mean we can't drive from a place very far down in Africa.
Now, we can actually continue for another 5+ thousand km down to Durba in South Africa, this still only uses roads, but it does need us to drive over a road that is part of a residential area. So it is illegal to just drive straight through. (but nothing stops one from visiting someone there and then continuing on the journey. (And yes, Google maps doesn't actually want to use such roads if one just plots down two points on a map, one needs to force it to take the road. (And yes, it took me some time to find this road...)))
So that means that we can technically drive from Durba in South Africa, all the way to Khasan in Russia while only using actual roads, tunnels and bridges. A journey of some 26537 km that according to Google maps will require 14 days and 15 hours of continuous driving.
(Now, this might not actually be a mistake on HAI's part, the video is from late 2017, and I make this comment in 2020.)
I found a similar route, starting in cape town via Pointe-Noire, through Cairo. So maybe its new roads
@@jamcdonald120 A lot of roads north of Pointe-Noire have existed for a fairly long time and Point-Noir to the town in Russia is already noticeably longer than from the town in Portugal. This has been the case since long before this video were published.
In short, the route from Portugal is based on really outdated information.
Russia recently reconnected Magadan in Siberia to their road network so it’s probably the terminus of the longest route now.
Did i miss a tunnel/bridge from Africa to Europe?
@@Z3t487 To pass the Suez Canal there is 1 bridge and 2 tunnels to choose from.
Technically one doesn't get directly to Europe, but rather the middle east, but there is road connections from here over to both Asia and Europe.
But Google maps for unknown reasons doesn't feel like prioritizing this route and rather takes a ferry to Spain/Portugal even if one forbids it from using ferries..... ie, one needs to put down a marker on the highway nearby to say, "I want to make a stop here."
OFCOURSE NONE OF THESE PLACES WOULD EXIST WITHOUT SKILLSHARE

Oddly if the Korean reunification happens then the longest route would have been Sagres Portugal to Busan South Korea.
Yep, that may very well become the longest driving distance should the Koreas reunify.
Then if Japan and Korea build a bridge or tunnel, the furthest distance would be from Sagres, Portugal to Oma in Aomori. The only physical connection from southern Japan to Hokkaido is by rail, so it doesn't count.

I defeated this in Google Maps. The route you propose from Khasan Russia to Sagres Portugal is 14,022km. And sure -- that is likely the longest "Safe" route (without ferries).
In this video, you gloss over the security situation in the Middle East // East Africa. And sure, many parts of the Middle East and East Africa can be dangerous and are dangerous today.
However, we are speaking in theory. There are several possible routes longer than what you described. Here is one. If you originate in Khasan Russia and continue across Russia, heading south at Saratov to Volgograd and then onward to Tbilisi in Georgia.
Now, there needs to be a note. It will likely be dangerous to go any further. The considerations depend on what country you are a citizen of, what languages you speak, who your friends are, etc. However, speaking of times before Covid -- and speaking as an American citizen -- if Covid ended today -- and if you had a lot of balls --
You could go from Georgia through Turkey and to the Ibrahim Khalil border crossing into Iraqi Kurdistan. Before COVID, if you were a US citizen you could pass through here with a proper 6-month visa from the Iraqi government. Whether it is safe to do so is another question.
Now you are in Iraq. The average normal person should not go here right now. Without trusted and secure friendly contacts within the country, I would personally be on the good foot driving, looking to get into and out of the country as quickly as possible.
With that said, I would not transit the western frontier. It is very dangerous. I would attempt to blend in by driving through Mosul and onto Baghdad. From Baghdad, you are going to the western frontier with Jordan. Cross into Jordan at Karameh border crossing. Now take a deep breath. You are on relatively safe turf again.
If ferries were allowed, you could take a ferry across the Red Sea from Jordan to Egypt and not have to cross into Israel. However since we stipulate no ferries, you need to cross into Israel, likely at the Jordan River Border Crossing. From there, continue on to Tel Aviv. From Tel Aviv, you will head south to Taba border crossing, the only border crossing for tourists from Israel into Egypt.
You will then go on to Cairo and overland to Aswan. From Aswan if ferries were allowed we would try to take the ferry to Wadi Haifa. However from what I can find online, I believe it is in fact possible to drive a personal car from Aswan into Sudan. Keeping in mind there are no settlements for miles around West of the Nile in the desert. Although it does not show in Google Maps, from the Google satellite photos there does appear to be a manned border crossing west of the Nile overland called the Arqin land border crossing, opened in 2017 goo.gl/maps/hfmshAym9ENUNUdCA
I believe the roads are now done on the Sudanese side as well...
In Sudan you will go on to Khartoum and cross into Ethiopia on to Gondar and then Addis Ababa.
From Addis you can drive overland through Kenya and the rest of East Africa all the way South to ZA and onto Cape Town. I have never been to SE Africa so I will leave that up to someone else, but Google routes you pretty straightforwardly.
Here is the journey on Google Maps -- it clocks in at 23,868km or a whopping 14,080 miles www.google.com/maps/dir/Khasan,+Primorsky+Krai,+Russia,+692730/Ibrahim+Khalil+Border+Crossing,+Iraq/Baghdad,+Iraq/Tel+Aviv,+Israel/Taba,+Egypt/Cairo,+Egypt/Aswan,+Egypt/Khartoum,+Sudan/Addis+Ababa,+Ethiopia/Cape+Town,+South+Africa/@34.4793227,27.0950486,3.96z/data=!4m62!4m61!1m5!1m1!1s0x5fb596808136e70d:0x6e5b668bd85bb5bf!2m2!1d130.651644!2d42.4241158!1m5!1m1!1s0x40091a6e00c2382b:0xd5bd4f7c73073435!2m2!1d42.5710728!2d37.139472!1m5!1m1!1s0x15577f67a0a74193:0x9deda9d2a3b16f2c!2m2!1d44.3660671!2d33.315241!1m5!1m1!1s0x151d4ca6193b7c1f:0xc1fb72a2c0963f90!2m2!1d34.7817676!2d32.0852999!1m5!1m1!1s0x15000b19c6d2624f:0x78755cbe15dafa6e!2m2!1d34.8937208!2d29.4938662!1m5!1m1!1s0x14583fa60b21beeb:0x79dfb296e8423bba!2m2!1d31.2357116!2d30.0444196!1m5!1m1!1s0x14367b5ab1a30e5f:0xfb109fe337cabccb!2m2!1d32.8998293!2d24.088938!1m5!1m1!1s0x168e8fde9837cabf:0x191f55de7e67db40!2m2!1d32.5598994!2d15.5006544!1m5!1m1!1s0x164b85cef5ab402d:0x8467b6b037a24d49!2m2!1d38.7577605!2d8.9806034!1m5!1m1!1s0x1dcc500f8826eed7:0x687fe1fc2828aa87!2m2!1d18.4240553!2d-33.9248685!3e0

hi
someone stole part of someone's RLL script
or the other way around
8726 miles in 163 hours is travelling at a speed of 53.5 mph.
Let's make it more realistic and enjoyable for the traveller.
Plan would be travel for 6-7 hours at 50-55mph which would result in a distance of 350 miles (All rounded to a nice figure).
Stay at destination for 6-8 hours sleep, leaving 9-12 hours to explore area.
This means 24 hours = 350 miles travelled.
Therefore, it would take 25 days to travel the full distance.
This is more do-able and sensible 👍
Ok, but why do you use miles and on what basis do you choose a 50-55 mph speed limit? Almost everywhere travelled on this route will use kilometres measurement
osobowy43 because I'm British and it won't make any difference to the calculations. 50-55 just seemed reasonable imo.
Possibly, but Russia is expansive for many hours at a time, so may be driving upwards of 9-10 hours.
You aint hitting anywhere near 50mph on Siberian roads.
Kool, love your TH-cam channel Great stuff, Cheers from Australia 😊🇦🇺
Thanks! Extremely important information 🙂
*using a Toyota Corolla
Still not real life lore
TheIncredibleKevin can you explain the joke?
SuperDedo77 Channel called real life lore often uses Toyota Corollas as a unit of measurement.
7,651,912 1/2 Toyota Corollas long
Edit: Got the conversion wrong. It’s roughly 3.0193 million Toyota Corollas
Or 418,820 Boeing 737-700s long
The longest drivable distance would be with the fake taxi, those girls never get to destination!
Well played
Leon Stoma 😂😂😂
Unless they're looking for destination FUCKED
damn hahahaa
Or just drive in circles.
The longest drive in history was a test carried out by US Army and AASHTO in the 1950s. They drove around a track continuously for years. It was to test road materials ahead of the Interstate Programme.
there are two endless roads around many cities one going clockwise and one unclockwise. there is even more fun if you replace the 'way out' signs by 'no way' ones.

It uses a ferry though
@@badathcr6369 yes, but ferry across river, I think this should not disqualify the route
Actually, there's a much longer route from Cape Agulhas, South Africa, to Khasan, Russia. It passes through the Suez Canal, and it's about 25,200km², and takes about 2 weeks of driving non-stop. You can find it by going to Google Maps and going from Cape Agulhas to Khasan, but set your route settings to avoid tolls, highways, and ferries.

I don't quite get the reason why you can't start in South Africa? So are there no continous roads from there to the bridges over the Suez canal? Or from there to wherever in Russia?
I don't get it either why you don't count the road from South Africa through the Middle East to Russia. Yes, you said "only the shortest routes between two points count", but you discount that because there is a faster route which involves a ferry (through Europe)? By the same logic you might as well discount everything because a plane is faster...
I was thinking the same thing. No roads through the middle east?
thumbs up cause planes
Yeah, that confused me too. I only have one explanation that kind of makes sense to me, which is "because Google Maps didn't give that route". If we're really looking for the shortest routes by distance, then you wouldn't be taking mostly highways either, since many local/rural roads run more straight than highways and so are shorter. That would make checking all possible "shortest" paths an enormous amount of work. So I'm guessing he took a shortcut and just relied on whatever Google Maps said was the best route.

I FOUND A ROUTE from the Cape of Good Hope (south of Cape Town) to Khasan Russia that doesn't use ferries. It requires you first go to Djibouti on the east coast of Africa, then head back west and circle around the Sahara Desert (because there are no roads headed north from Djibouti). As a practical matter it looks pretty silly but then this isn't a practical problem, is it? Total distance is 18,786 miles (30,233 km) and Google Maps says it can be done in 420 hours of driving time at approximately 45 MPH. There may be a slightly shorter route that doesn't require going all the way to Djibouti but the point is it can be done.

Driving this route would be better for an engine than starting it up everyday to drive 5 km and shut off.

noonecares basically Australia isn’t important except for the fact that if you go a little to the right, it leads to America
Just that? I was expecting more.
Something interesting I’ve gotten sucked into is the Panama Canal, when it was in America’s control it was a massive money maker and provided a boost to the American economy, the canals opened up a faster route and by nature of owning the gate meant they can charge for use considering the alternative meant doubling the travel time increases cost in man hours, product life spans, and simple convenience. We obtain this through somewhat shady means and it later came out we basically took it by force”really looked bad.” When the time came to give control of the canal back to the people this meant we were going to lose one of the biggest money makers Americans had, it just so happens the date we gave control back was 1998-1999 during this time there was talk in the natural gas and oil industry to transfer the Petroleum dollar to the Euro instead of USD witch it was valued in. These two events alone could have crippled the value of the USD making it worthless in terms of world trading even though at the time USD seemed to be the safest was possible for other countries to do business knowing the currently always retained its value, however we know the history of what happened. After 9/11 we “made sure” other oil rich countries kept the petro dollar in USD regardless of the fact the majority of oil rich countries and locations are closer to European countries but continue to trade in USD.

WOW! What a perfect video: wonderfully spoken with that calming voice, learned so much in those 4 minutes and the presentation/animations or awesome. I love videos that are made in this style. Awesome work. Keep up doing this! Why i haven't discovered this awesome channel earlier? Thank you very much, sir!
I drove from Vancouver to Toronto, not the furthest but definitely something to experience if you're willing to drive for 4 days!
You should be able to drive all the way from Vancouver to Halifax, right?
Fuck that
Vancover to Toronto. I once drove from Toronto to BC. It took me 3 days just to get out of Ontario. I was in a motorhome, though, and was in no hurry. Long road trips- I just love 'em. I do believe you, by the way. 4 and a half thousand km in 4 days is no prob on good roads and with long spells at the wheel. I did 1000km one day with the motorhome on my road trip. The next day I was knackered.

I think that a road trip from Vancouver might be longer if you drove through Quebec and then into Labrador.
0:00 is when a legend was born
I'm trying to imagine how our life would look like if there was real peace between all the countries and all the borders were open.
It's so amazing and interesting viewing the world like this. Thanks so much for the video :)
I got interested and tried looking for more routes on Google Maps. Apparently you can drive from Port Elizabeth, South Africa to Skarsvag, Norway. It is almost 16,800 km long. Pretty cool.
Gonna need a fire playlist for that one.
With a few ferries, mainly one across the Bering Straight, and a couple much shorter ferry rides and a few thousand miles of new roads you drive from South Africa or Southeast Asia to South America (and think of all the quick stops and motels that could be built along the way).
There is actually only one customs check point between Sagres and Khasan as Belarus and Russia form a customs union.
Incorrect! I found a much longer route!
How? After looking at the border of China and Kyrgyzstan I found out that road A371 actually goes into China (39.694859, 73.923347). Google maps, however, did not add in the roads that is in the vicinity of the A371 loop, so it is actually possible to get off A371 and make it to mainland China!
We then have to go to Longchuan, on the border to Myanmar. Once again, google cannot calculate any route from China to Myanmar... but it is possible at 23.980239, 97.897083!
From there you take the road to Singapore!
Total distance: 18,387km!
General Darian you're wrong. The distance between LA and Ventura is 50000 hours long
You mean 66 miles?
I found a route 19,121 km

Yeah but it includes a ferry
I knew the Panama Gap would be featured here. PSA, is not just paramilitars and druglords, the area is home to indigenous tribes and rich rain forests which also provide sustenance for these tribes.
But can someone actually make this trip like where are the gas stations
If you're light on the throttle, every 800kms is a city or two, with gas stations in between.
Felecity Foston Carry gas and spares on board!
Why the fuck would they make a road without access to gas stations...
His question is actually valid if you think about it. Nothing guarantees gas stations being on this direct road route. If surrounding areas and villages have them then locals will have enough gas. But to actually drive on the continuous road only might not be possible.
Well I assume that you'll drive on highways, and those usually have gas stations. Not to sure about the central asian/sibirian part tho
12070km NOT EVEN CLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE TO THE STAGGERING 14043km, iiits kinda close
2000km aint nothing tho
And if south and north America were connected they would become the longest route easily.
Max Half but if they built a Gibraltar bridge than it would get ridiculous
USA: *bulids road through Cambodia*
Europe: *Bulids bridge through Gibraltar Strait*
USA: *Builds Bridge to Antarctica from argentina*
Europe: *bulids bridge through Pacific ocean to Australia*
USA: *bulids bridge to the moon*
TheObsidianX I've totally forgot about that possibility, in the future there will be a bridge in there, definitely.
It amazes that I watched the video without it's audio but it manage to understand.
There is a tunnel under theSuez Canal, used it many times. Just north of Suez.
Are we there yet?
2 more days now
yey
aw
Yes and you must kiss your hairy Russian Grandma
now what doe's that have to do with anything?
There is actually a logner route that google maps doesn't list due to China. And An african route as well. You can go via Mongolia or Kazakhstan (Most likely via Kazakhstan) and then on chinese highways, where you can cross down to laos and thailand then down to singapore. Theorectically you can even go via Turkey ->Iraq ->Iran - >Pakistan -> (India if you want to) ->China -> Laos -> Thailand ->malaysia ->singapore. Also, you CAN go from africa to asia IF you have 2 passports, one for... israel. AND if the Taba border crossing reopens or if you can use the upper crossing. Then you can cross into jordan, iraq etc. So the shortest route to Iraq would be: South Africa->Botswana ->Go Via Zimbabwe or Nambia to cross the river -> Zambia ->Tanzania -> Uganda -> South Sudan ->Sudan (Uganda and South Sudan replaced by Kenya and Ethopia for practical crossings) ->Egypt, DON'T GO VIA THE FERRY, GO VIA THE ROAD CROSSING UNLISTED ON GOOGLE MAPS ->Israel (Taba crossing) -> Jordan -> Iraq ->Iran (But a faster, longer route is: Zambia ->DRC->Central African Republic ->Chad->Cameroon->Nigeria->Niger->Algeria->Libya->Egypt (Sure, the visas will be a nightmare) But this route, Pretoria up to Cairo already takes 8755km. (The Chinese, pakistan->India sudan->Egypt crossing aren't on google maps, but they exist if you do some digging)
Note: If you wanted to do this in real life, you would need: A rental car, A LOT of maintanence stuff, spare gas, visas for the countries, A LOT of research, 2 PASSPORTS since you don't want to take the egypt->jordan ferry, you have to go via israel, A LOT of TIME and A LOT OF MONEY.
Also, submiting documents to cross border on your (or rented) car in Africa might take up to 2 weeks per border. And as far as I know, you can't cross Laos border on rented vehicle (may be you may need to hire local driver to go through Laos)
The only border crossing between egypt and sudan that is open includes the ferry. The unlisted one you mention is closed.
actually you are right, a new border crossing has been opened on the west of the nile with no ferry
RandomGamer 123 That's really cool, but how'd you find out? Is it another channel you found?
Try the drive across Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia.
Highly recommend watching Long Way Round. It is Ewan McGregor and his BF on motorcycles from London to NY taking the Long Way Round. Only time they are not on their bikes is from Russia to Alaska. Then they go from Alaska thru Canada to US and the. Cross country to NY. Took them over 2 months. It is AMAZING!
Suddenly my butt hurts while watching this video.
lol
Need to worn on that iron butt...
It is my pecker
funny.....but true. can you imagine...lol
Alejandro Medina have you checked your butt strings
Hi Wendover Prod. You are unfortunately not entirely correct. I know for a fact that you can stretch that route to at least as far as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy as I have a friend who has made the drive there from Vladivostock - However, Google Maps has not (yet) covered so far east in Russia so to verify this you'll have to manually use the satellite imagery to follow the roads.
RealMcForesT hey, your friend must have used a ferry to drive across the Kamchatka river..but even after that I don't see any route.. they'd even have to take a ferry accross the Aldan river..
On this channel, he can be only half as correct.
How do you manually use satellite imagery lol
TheUKNutter You zoom in and move around without the help of the marked roads on google maps
Olav Sanchez Ahhh I see, I did this when looking around Yellowknife.
Much Gratitude
Point of collection.
It's possible to drive from Cape town ( South Africa) through East Africa to Egypt and then Asian and Europe. The journey will start in Cape town South Africa through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, south Sudan, Republic of Sudan, Egypt. In Egypt you will have to use a bridge on Suez canal and then through Israel.........
But if you just google it sometimes it's hard to understand it.
It's not half as interesting, it's just as interesting!
