And Farah has even made a stop off at Dubai, where he has been snapped in front of the desert city-state's greatest monuments.
Farah was snapped in the Gulf state with his training kit on and a pair of matching red trainers as he took some strides around town.
He was snapped in front of the Burj Khalifa, which at 830m tall is the highest building in the world.
And he also posed for the iconic Mobot with the sail-like Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel in the background.
Farah also had some pictures with the local wildlife, a bunch of camels and even took one on the segway that had previously been used by the cameraman filming his training session.
According to Gulf News, Farah had been taking a tour to record a '360-degree' video of the area to promote tourism.
The the reel plays out, making use of the entire surroundings to tell the story.
Farah has been the subject of controversy in recent weeks, with his family living in Oregon in the USA, while the British runner trains abroad.
But he became a victim of the United States' controversial new immigration policy that restricts incoming residents or visitors from seven mainly-Muslim nations.
Luckily for the knight, he was allowed to return to America because he is a UK citizen.
But he blasted president Donald Trump's new policy, saying: "I am a British citizen who has lived in America for the past six years - working hard, contributing to society, paying my taxes and bringing up our four children in the place they now call home.
"Now, me and many others like me are being told that we may not be welcome.
"It's deeply troubling that I will have to tell my children that Daddy might not be able to come home - to explain why the President has introduced a policy that comes from a place of ignorance and prejudice."
