Sheikha Asma has been a trailblazer in high-altitude mountaineering. On October 11, 2024, she became the first Arab woman and Qatari to climb two mountain peaks exceeding 8,000 metres high without an oxygen device, a feat that includes climbing the Seven Summits and reaching both the North and South Poles. This milestone solidified her place as a pioneer in adventure sports and an inspiration to aspiring climbers worldwide.

In an Instagram post, she reflected on the significance of her journey:

“Every summit I’ve stood on, with the Qatari flag in my hands, has been a moment of immense pride and gratitude, a tribute to my country and all it represents.”

She also highlighted the importance of preserving the beauty of mountains for future generations, reinforcing her commitment to adventure, sustainability, and inspiring others to break barriers.

Her recognition at the Everest Tourism Award 2025 is not just a personal achievement but a testament to the growing presence of Arab women in extreme sports. With every climb, Sheikha Asma Al Thani continues to rewrite history and push the limits of possibility.
