Al Thani’s nearly decade-long expedition began in 2014, and her remarkable feat makes her the first Arab woman to achieve this elite accomplishment. Reflecting on her journey, she said, "This is for every young girl with big dreams—there are no limits to what we can achieve if we stay determined and believe in ourselves.”
With fewer than 75 people worldwide having completed the Explorers Grand Slam, Al Thani's achievement is not only a significant personal triumph but also a source of inspiration for aspiring adventurers across the region. Her historic ascent breaks barriers and highlights the power of resilience in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
