Kuwait is a proud country with strong values and a rich culture. Families and schools encourage children to be curious, explore new ideas, and develop their talents. Because of this supporting environment, many Kuwaitis grow up confident and ready to succeed in their lives. The following are some outstanding Kuwaiti explorers and adventurers who have brought pride to their country.
Fuad Qabazard is a Kuwaiti mountaineer who successfully climbed Mount Everest in December 2015. He proudly raised the Kuwaiti flag there, along with pictures of His Highness the Amir and the Crown Prince. His goal was to highlight Kuwait’s recognition by the United Nations as a “Global Humanitarian Centre.” After returning home, Qabazard explained that his two-week journey was not only a physical challenge but also a way to represent his country on an international stage. His achievement brought attention to Kuwait’s humanitarian role and inspired many people in Kuwait.
Lamees Najim made history in 2018 when she became the first Kuwaiti to reach the North Pole. She is known for her remarkable ability to fulfil difficult tasks and is always excited by new adventures. Because of her adventurous spirit, she joined a Euro-Arabian expedition led by Felicity Aston, who was the first person to ski solo across Antarctica. The journey included 12 female explorers from different countries, aiming to share their experiences and cultures. This expedition highlighted the strong will of Kuwaiti and Arab women to face challenges and survive dangerous conditions.
