Dubai Police officer scales tallest peak in North Africa, Arab world
It took Ahmed Al Muzaina 22 hours to conquer Morocco's 4,167-metre Toubkal Mountain
Dubai: Police officer Ahmed Khalifa Al Muzaina has succeeded in flying the banner of Dubai Police at the top of Toubkal Mountain in Morocco, the highest peak in North Africa and the Arab world, the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains Range, and the seventh-highest peak in Africa, standing at an altitude of 4,167 meters.
Al Muzaina credited his successful climb of Toubkal Mountain to the support, encouragement, and promotion of physical readiness by the Dubai Police.
He expressed his appreciation and satisfaction in overcoming challenges and completing the mountain climb in 22 hours.
He indicated that the journey included several difficulties, such as low temperature, oxygen deficiency at the top of the mountain, and low air pressure.
However, he overcame these challenges thanks to his physical readiness, pre-climb preparations, and the practice of hiking to enhance his physical abilities.
“Hiking is a sport that requires high physical fitness, challenges difficulties, and satisfies the desire for adventure,” Al Muzaina said.
