Fatima Al-Awadi sets historic record for Arabs in climbing
Fatima Abdul Rahman Al Awadhi, the Emirati mountain climber, achieved a historic milestone by reaching the summit of Lenin Peak, which stands at 7,134 meters, in the Pamir Mountains of Kyrgyzstan on July 18, 2026. This makes her the youngest Arab and Emirati to surpass an elevation of 7,000 meters. This challenge is considered one of the most difficult peaks in Central Asia, requiring approximately three weeks for the journey, which included acclimatization and final ascent phases, all without the use of supplemental oxygen. This success is the latest addition to her impressive record, having previously climbed Mount Elbrus, the highest peaks in the polar and African continents, and raising the UAE flag atop these summits. Her efforts are complemented by a message from the Head of State encouraging youth to pursue their ambitions and persevere. Her achievements are part of her plans to complete the Seven Summits challenge and attain the "Explorers' Grand Slam."
