Suzanne Al Houby is a pioneer in adventure and exploration, best known as the first Arab woman to summit Mt. Everest and complete the Seven Summits challenge. Throughout her journey, she has consistently defied expectations, proving time and again that limits exist only to be pushed.

Her favorite quote, “It is easy to be inspired, but it is not so easy to act,” reflects her relentless pursuit of adventure. Beyond achieving personal records, Suzanne has played a key role in inspiring and mentoring others to break new barriers

When she isn’t conquering peaks or traveling the world—having visited over 100 destinations—Suzanne is deeply engaged in local and international charities, youth mentorship, and training for her next challenge. Through her extensive experience in extreme conditions, she developed a keen sense of adventure, which led her to create Rahhalah Explorers, her dream project: an adventure travel company built on integrity. In her words, “It is never about greed, fame, or even the summit; it is about doing the right thing in a world where many lose sight of what truly matters.” She also runs the only company in the region with a payback promise, ensuring that ethical business practices remain at the heart of Rahhalah.
