Indian Woman From Kerala to Drive to Qatar to Watch World Cup

Naaji Noushi

Kerala Woman Naaji Noushi has set out to drive from her hometown in Kerala to Doha for the FIFA World Cup. A mother of five and a fan of the Argentina team, Naaji is expected to join the World Cup frenzy in the first week of December in her Mahindra Thar SUV.

Kerala's Minister of Road Transport Antony Raju flagged off the trip in the presence of Village panchayat officials. She would arrive in Oman by ship after traveling from Coimbatore to Mumbai and then drive through the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia into Qatar.

Noushi is a travel vlogger who wishes that her journey encourages more women to realize their dreams. Before she set off, Naaji said: “Support of the family is the fuel for this journey. My husband Noushad always gives support for my adventurous trips. While I am on long journeys, my mother takes care of my five children. This would give confidence to all women.”
"If a woman like me- a homemaker, a wife and a mother of five- can realize my dreams, any ordinary woman in Kerala can chase her dreams confidently," she added.

Going on solo trips is something that Naaji loves and her car has a banner that reads "Naaji Noushi single mom traveler," With her children and spouse Noushad, Naaji made her home in Oman after doing multiple solo excursions through India and Nepal.
