Dubai:Ahmad Zein Al Yafei, a policeman from the General Department of Airports Security at Dubai Police, has succeeded in flying the logo of ‘Spirit of the Union’ and the banner of Dubai Police at the top of Jais Mountain in Ras Al Khaima, after completing a mammoth mountain climb in 15 hour and 15 minutes.

Al Yafei said he decided to complete mountain challenge in climbing the peak of Jebel Jais and unfurling the Union’s logo in celebration of the UAE’s 49th National Day, and to express his deepest gratitude towards the force he belongs to. 

Al Yafei explained that he took the Stairway to Heaven path to climb up the UAE’s highest peak at 1,910 m above sea level. 

“My passion for hiking is great because I believe that it is one of the most important sports that help a person learn many things, including challenge, persistence, patience, confronting difficulties, and meditation.”  Al Yafei said.  

It’s worth nothing that Al-Yafei has a record of proud achievements in this sport, as he climbed three of the highest global summits: In Europe (Mount Elbrus), in Africa (Kilimanjaro), in the Arabian Gulf region (Jebel Shams), and in the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant (Mount Nabi Shuaib).
