  Omar is the first Egyptian who climbed Mount Everest -the highest peak in the world- which is “8848 meters”. This was in 2007 and his journey took 5 weeks.

But he challenged his illness and the surrounding circumstances in order to achieve his dream.
• Sir Edmund Hillary:
  Hillary, the first climber of Mount Everest summit was a New Zealand explorer. His first attempt was an unsuccessful one as he lost 3 of his friends. Despite that, the government rewarded him and in the honoring concert there was a picture of Everest, so he stood in front of it and told it that this time he is a loser and you (the mount) is greater, but I “Hillary” will be the greatest always.
  In1953, Hillary and Tenzing Norgay did it in their second attempt.
