Fatima Al-Awadi First Emirati to Ride Lenin
Emirati climber Fatima Abdulrahman Al Awadhi, 19 years old, achieved a historic milestone by surpassing an altitude of 7,000 meters, becoming the youngest Arab woman to reach such an elevation and the first Emirati to summit Mount Lenin, which stands at 7,134 meters in the Pamir Mountains of Kyrgyzstan, on July 18, 2026. Climbing Mount Lenin is considered one of the most challenging endeavors in Central Asia due to its harsh weather conditions and icy terrain. The expedition took approximately three weeks, during which Fatima managed to reach the summit without supplemental oxygen. This achievement follows her ascent of Mount Elbrus, Europe’s highest peak at 5,642 meters. She is now regarded as one of the most promising young talents in the sport of mountain climbing. She raised the UAE flag at the summit, accompanied by a message from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed emphasizing the values of ambition and perseverance. The accomplishment was also dedicated to the UAE leadership in appreciation of their ongoing support for youth.
