Did Mary and Joseph walk or ride to Bethlehem?
If, as Luke's Gospel says, Joseph and Mary travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, they both walked all the way. As a poor village carpenter, Joseph could not have afforded to own or even hire a donkey. Their extreme poverty is demonstrated in Luke 2:24, when they sacrificed two doves instead of the usual lamb, a concession permitted only the very poorest. Even if they knew someone of outstanding generosity, no one would have lent them a donkey, with the serious possibility that Joseph and Mary would not have survived the long and arduous journey to and from Bethlehem.Although the Gospel does not say, the only plausible answer in the context of Luke's Gospel is that Joseph and Mary both walked, even on the return journey when they carried Jesus.

How many miles did Joseph and Mary travel from Bethlehem to Egypt?
8000 km 8000km = in miles? 8000km is about 5000 miles. However that's got nothing to do with how long the Holy family's Flight to Egypt was. Their travels were from Bethlehem - just a few miles south of Jeruselem - to some unnamed location in Egypt. The largest city in Egypt at that time would be Alexandria. Just using a ruler on the map, the distance between these two cities appears to be about 320 miles (512km). They may have cut a few dozen miles off their trip by stopping at some closer town in Egypt, but on the other hand, I'm sure they had to travel on roads not nearly as straight as my as-the-bird-flies measurement. So, my best guess would be 300-350 miles. An extremely long trip in those days.
How long before Mary and Joseph returned to Nazareth from Bethlehem?
This is a reference to the Nativity story in Luke's Gospel, since in Matthew's Gospel, Mary and Joseph lived in Bethlehem and had probably never been to Nazareth. Luke 2:22 says that when the days of purification for Mary were completed, after the birth of Jesus, they took Jesus to Jerusalem to present him at the Temple, then 2:39 says that when they had accomplished these things they returned home to Nazareth. They would probably have begun their journey forty days after the birth of Jesus.
Why did Mary go on a long journey before having Jesus?
Because the Emperor of Rome declared a census, sending all people back to their home town. Joseph, her husband, was born in Bethlehem, so he took her with him
Where can you find how many days it took Mary and Joseph to get to Bethlehem?
A:The story of Mary and Joseph travelling from Nazareth to Bethlehem is found only in Luke 2:4-5. Since this says nothing about how long they took, we can never find out how long. In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was already their home town and they never went to Nazareth until after the birth of Jesus and they had fled to Egypt (Matthew 2:22-23: "But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither [return to Bethlehem]: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.")
