Nayla Al Baloushi

Mountaineer

Origin: UAE

Residence: UAE

Sector: Sports

In May 2022, Al Baloushi made the UAE proud when she became the first Emirati woman to summit Mount Everest. The achievement is even more remarkable, considering that Al Baloushi decided to scale the mountain just three months prior and did not undergo any special training for this feat. However, the Emirati mountaineer is familiar with mountain climbing and has climbed Greater Ararat in Turkey/ Armenia, Mount Cameron, and Mount Hoverla in Ukraine. Al Baloushi is married to Saeed Al Memari, the first Emirati man to reach Mount Everest’s peak in 2011. Al Baloushi was motivated by her husband to take on the feat.
