Hi adventurers,
I'm Faisi, a mountaineering coach, athlete, adventure traveller, sports enthusiast, and community volunteer. A friend you are yet to meet. In my company you'll dive into UAE's wilderness, capture amazing photos, geek out over geology, and encounter mesmerizing wildlife.
No, I don't do nightclubs, drinking, smoking, shisha, or yatch parties!

If you are a collector of natural hidden gems and wish to explore the less touristy spots, then write me up and let's create memories that will last a lifetime!

UAE has been my home since 2004, and I'm fueled by passion for mountains, amateur photography, geology, and wildlife. As your local host, guide, and friend, I offer you to conquer peaks, explore trails, and uncover the unexplored side of UAE, inside and outside of this often "mechanical" town.

I live minutes away from the UAE's highest peak, in a little peaceful local neighbourhood. No highrise buildings, no traffic, no artificial fountains.
With me, you need to be ready for a long drive with stops at roadside Karak Chai(tea) stalls or local fruit vendors!

UAE's geology holds ancient stories, and I love to uncover its secrets. We can explore the unique geological features and learn how this region was shaped.
Wildlife awaits us in this diverse ecosystem. I love to immerse myself in the desert fauna and the enchanting life along in the mountains. I invite you to join to observe, learn, and become a nomad in the wild side of UAE.

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 invitation. Instead, i will welcome you with my Pakhtoon hospitality.
Much love
Faisi
