From the Empty Quarter to Everest... Al-Shaibani joins the global explorers' club

Announced World Explorers Club The election of Saudi explorer Dr. Bader Al-Shaibani as an international member of the club is a step that reflects a growing Saudi presence in one of the world’s most prestigious platforms specializing in exploration and field research.
Founded in New York in 1904, the Explorers Club is one of the most prominent international institutions whose name is associated with historical milestones that have contributed to shaping human understanding of Earth and space. Its membership includes an elite group of scientists, explorers, and astronauts from various countries around the world.

A busy expedition

Al-Shaibani’s joining comes as the culmination of an exploration journey that spanned years, during which he completed the “Seven Summits” challenge by climbing the highest peak on each continent, including Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, in addition to conducting field experiences in diverse environments that included mountainous highlands and icy regions, as well as exploring caves and volcanoes.

His travels also included crossing the Rub' al Khali desert on foot, one of the largest contiguous sand deserts in the world, as well as experiencing walking in the South Pole, in one of the harshest natural environments on Earth, where he documented the environmental and human challenges associated with these expeditions.

Important station

In addition to his fieldwork, Al-Shaibani is producing a number of documentaries about his expeditions, aiming to transform his exploratory experiences into educational content that contributes to spreading a culture of exploration and raising environmental awareness.
In a statement, Al-Shaibani emphasized that joining the club represents a significant milestone in his career, noting that exploration is no longer limited to discovering places, but has become a means of understanding humanity's relationship with the environment and enhancing global awareness of natural challenges.
This achievement comes amidst growing interest in ecotourism and adventure experiences in the Kingdom, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, and reflects the presence of Saudi talent on international platforms specializing in exploration and field research.
