Space Journey
From the world’s highest peaks to the quiet vastness of the Poles, Omar’s expeditions have traced a map of both Earth and the human spirit. Each journey pushed him further outward — and, paradoxically, deeper inward.
1. 370-Day Backpacking Journey (2002–2003)
Curiosity & Freedom
Climbing Mount Everest is often described as the ultimate test of human endurance — not just a physical challenge, but a deep emotional and mental journey into the unknown. For Omar Samra, reaching the summit on May 17, 2007, was far more than a personal achievement. It was the culmination of years of preparation, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they commit fully to a dream.
“Freedom isn’t found in escape — it’s found in being fully present, wherever you are.”
2. Mount Everest (2007)
Becoming & Courage
Climbing Mount Everest is often described as the ultimate test of human endurance — not just a physical challenge, but a deep emotional and mental journey into the unknown. For Omar Samra, reaching the summit on May 17, 2007, was far more than a personal achievement. It was the culmination of years of preparation, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they commit fully to a dream.
Standing at 8,848 meters, Everest is not a mountain that welcomes people easily. It demands respect, patience, and humility. Omar spent years training his body and mind for the harsh realities of the climb: freezing winds that cut through layers, oxygen levels too thin for clear thought, and the constant risk that one wrong step could end everything. But he also trained for the quieter battles — the loneliness, the doubt, and the days when progress was painfully slow.
“Everest taught me that reaching the top changes far less than the climb itself does.”
