Raha Moharrak

Raha Moharrak knew she wanted to summit Everest the moment she first reached the peak of Mount Kilamanjaro.

A few years later, she achieved that dream and became the first Saudi woman to reach the top of the world. Since then, she has gone on to conquer each of the world’s Seven Summits—the ultimate achievement for climbing aficionados worldwide—and a stunning feat of human endurance. As Esquire’s Woman of the Year 2017, she has gone on to be a keen speaker of women’s rights in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world.

Still setting firsts, last year also saw her become the first-ever Arab brand ambassador for Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer, and now joins the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bella Hadid on the world stage.
