On the 17th of last April, Manal raised the flag of Egypt on the third peak of the Himalayas at an altitude of 6119 meters above sea level, but because of altitude sickness that afflicted her.

The Egyptian marathoner documented her journey through her accounts on social media, including pictures of her celebration of Eid Al-Fitr, and she was at an altitude of 6500 meters above sea level and wrote; "What do you think about the Eid suit, the first session was completed, thank God, and tomorrow we will start the second session."

This is not the first time that the 37-year-old achieved a record, as the first mountain that Rostom climbed was Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 2012, which is the highest mountain peak in Africa, an altitude of 5895 meters above sea level.

A year later, she climbed Mount Kenya, which is the second-highest mountain peak in the world, and in 2015 she managed to climb Mount Elbrus in Russia.
