In this section I will share some of the most notable adventures, hobbies, and accidents of my life. As for the adventures, I enjoy adrenaline-rushing activities like Bungee Jumping, whitewater rafting, scuba diving, and motorbiking. Such adventures and hobbies led to some accidents like my ACL football injury, my life-changing back injury, and Achilles tendon football injury.

Bungee Jumping

My first Bungee Jumping experience was in Dubai back in 2000. It was 60 meters high, jumping over Dubai creek. It was such an exhilarating experience that I wanted to do a second one many years later in Canada over Ottawa river.

Whitewater rafting

Scuba Diving

Here is a list of my scuba dives so far (13 dive sites in 7 locations):

  1. Beirut, Lebanon (3 sites)
  2. Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic (2 sites)
  3. Varadero, Cuba (2 sites)
  4. Sharm Al-Shaikh, Egypt (2 sites)
  5. Muscat, Oman (1 site)
  6. Pataya, Thailand (1 site)
  7. Kubbar Island, Kuwait (2 sites)

Sharm Al-Shaikh was by far the best dive site I’ve been to, with Cuba as the second best. The clarity of the blue-azure water in both locations, with the colorful aqua creatures and reefs made them such delightful dives to experience.
