There they detail the route of Qatar. “He is currently studying for a degree in Political Sciences with the aim of becoming diplomatic. Despite his disability, Ghanim lI like to practice extreme sports such as scuba diving, skateboarding and climbing,” they add about the Muftah.

“Many times other people put limits on what we can and cannot do, and we have to change fear into courage, one day at a time. You must have a life without limits,” Vujicic once said, from whom Al Muftah seems to have learned a lot.
