#281 - Manal Rostom | منال رستم | عنصرية على ارتفاع ٥٥٠٠ متر

From Egypt to Everest to Denali — the story of a woman who climbed the highest peaks on Earth and still couldn't outrun the question: "why aren't you married?"In this episode of the Hikmat Wehbi Podcast, Manal Rostom doesn't talk about summits the way you'd expect. She talks about the bus accident that almost killed her at nineteen, the guilt that pushed her toward God, and the moment on Everest when she asked herself: would I still do this if no one ever found out? She talks about being the only Arab on the mountain, being looked down on by climbers who couldn't believe she belonged, and training at Ski Dubai because that's what she had. And she talks about the thing no one wants to hear — that she's forty-six, single, and happy, and that the world still doesn't know what to do with that.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🏔️ Who is Manal Rostom?An Egyptian athlete, mountaineer, marathon runner, and content creator based in Dubai. She studied pharmacy, earned a master's in clinical pharmacy, then walked away from it all. She became the first Egyptian woman to summit Everest, completed six of the Seven Summits, ran the six World Marathon Majors, and built a career in content creation and motivational speaking — all while wearing the hijab and redefining what that looks like to the world.#hikmatwehbipodcast#podcast#arabic_podcast#manalrostom#منال_رستم#حكمت_وهبي#حكمت_وهبي_بودكاست#wstudiodxb#everest#sevensummits
