Climbing Kuwait Towers
Climbing Kuwait Towers to raise fitness awareness
Ali Al-Eidan, a 52-year-old physical therapist, will climb to the top of the Kuwait Towers by way of stairs on May 18. Al-Eidan is climbing the 40 flights of stairs, to call attention to exercise’s role in fighting diseases.
Al-Eidan said exercise should not be limited to a certain age group but is a necessity to all. He added he has nothing to gain from this adventure financially. His only motive is to increase Kuwait’s awareness of exercise’s role in preventing obesity and other widespread diseases in Kuwait.
He added, he is physically fit enough to embark on such an extreme exercise. He expected that he will reach the top and run back down at a steady pace. Al-Eidan has plans to climb other tall Kuwaiti landmarks. In the future, he hopes to climb the top of the Liberation Tower.

What a great thing to do. I appluad him and wish him the best of luck. Mashalla he’s fit to do such a thing. I wouldn’t last past the sixth floor! I wonder if there’s going to be a gathering there to support him. I’d totally go.

After looking at the pictures I realized Ali is an old friend from Canada. Does anyone have an idea about how I could reach him? I don’t have his number and I live in Canada. I’d appreciate your help!
