Hey, fellow adventurers!
I'm Faisi, a mountaineering coach, athlete, adventure traveller, sports enthusiast, and community volunteer. A friend you are yet to meet and with whom you'll dive into UAE's wilderness, capture amazing photos, geek out over geology, and encounter mesmerizing wildlife. Let's create memories that will last a lifetime!

UAE has been my home since 2004, and I'm fueled by a passion for mountains, amateur photography, geology, and desert wildlife. As your local host, guide, and friend, we'll conquer peaks, explore trails, and uncover hidden gems within and outside of the city's hustle and bustle. Together, we'll embrace adventure and make UAE our playground!

Mountains are our calling, whether you're a seasoned climber or a beginner. Let's conquer Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest peak, and celebrate our triumphs together. Get ready for a long drive with stops at roadside Karak Shai(tea) stalls or fruit vendors!

Mobile photography is another way i pass my time, and I'll be there with you to capture UAE's beauty through nothing but a mobile phone. From sunrise vistas to wildlife encounters, we'll create stunning photos together. No experience necessary – let's learn together and have fun!

UAE's geology holds ancient stories, and we'll uncover its secrets. We can explore the unique geological features and learn how this region was shaped.
Wildlife awaits us in this diverse ecosystem. We'll immerse ourselves in the desert fauna and the enchanting life along in the mountains. Let's observe, learn, and become stewards of conservation.

Above all, I'm here to be your friend. Whether you're a solo traveller or seeking companionship, let's explore this sandpit together, embracing cultural exchange and creating lasting memories.

Yes, i am a professionally certified mountsin guide, but rest assured, i am not here to sell my work/business. I am on couch-surfing purely to help travellers who are genuinely looking for a friend and someone to hang out with. So no, this is not a paid invite. Instead, i will welcome you with my Pakhtoon hospitality.
Pack your sense of adventure and join me, and let's discover UAE's wonders together!
