Shaikh Mohammed Bin Hamad Al 
Khalifa successfully climbed Mount 
Everest in May 2021 with his team. They 
are the first Bahraini nationals to climb 
Mount Everest and the first international 
team to climb the world’s tallest 
mountain. 
Climbing Everest requires skill and experience due to its 
difficult climate and sudden weather changes. The climate of 
Everest is one of the most difficult things for climbers to 
manage. It is very dangerous for climbers. 
The Bahraini team trained in the Himalayas in Nepal two 
months before starting the climb. They climbed several smaller 
mountains as part of their preparation. 
On the day they reached the summit of Everest, the team held 
the Bahraini flag at the top to mark their achievement.
