Suggested answer

Saeed Al Memari is a 43- year Emirati adventurer. He was born in Fujairah between the mountains and the sea, so he was always looking for a challenge that can stop him and say: ‘This is your limit’, but he says 

“I have not found that yet”. ”

He is the director-general of Fujairah Centre for Adventures.

Al Memari said “It is my dream to leave something behind for the next generation so they can also have big dreams”. He started by climbing the highest and one of the deadliest summits, Mount Everest and K2 - He has created his legacy after becoming the first Emirati to climb the summit of Mount Everest back in 2011. In 2014, he raised the Dubai Expo 2020 logo on North America's highest peak.

Al Memari said “climbing mountains is unique as every mountain has its own challenge – it can be the terrain, snow or the weather. Sometimes on a small mountain, you hit extreme weather, but as soon as you reach the summit you forget all the challenges. 

Al Memari has learned from his experiences that there is no limit for your dreams and if you want to achieve your goals you have to be a risk taker and ambitious.
