I am a middle classed guy living in Damascus 1400 years ago and i want to do pilgrimage to Mecca, what preparations do i need to take, and how much would it cost me in modern day money?

I imagine the trip would last months, What is my best option regarding riding/walking? how much food do i need to bring with me? considering the vast amount of desert i'd be crossing? and most importantly as mentioned in the title; how much would it cost? can i afford it?

But why? Even mohammed wouldn't do his first hajj until ~20 years later.

The middle class didn't exist back then
