Grasp an Adventure
OUR TEAM
Meet the Grasp-Hoppers
We aren’t just a group of experts; we’re a collective of dreamers, builders, and problem-solvers. At Grasp, we believe that the best work happens when diverse perspectives collide.
Yousuf
Aka Grasp-Father/ Founder
Yousuf
Aka Grasp-Father/ Founder
Yousuf founded Grasp the Adventure in 2018 in search of a like-minded community who find joy and fulfilment outside the boundaries of their comfort zones. He has travelled to over 80 countries, hiked across six of the seven continents, led countless groups to summits, and found his passion in helping others discover their own love for nature and the outdoors… while also enjoying a little banter at their expense.
Essam
Aka Logistics Guru/ Partner
Essam
Aka Logistics Guru/ Partner
Essam is an outdoors and nature fanatic. You can leave him almost anywhere in the wilderness and he will adapt, taking different forms depending on the environment. When it comes to grasping an adventure with him, expect things to be organised, calculated, and well planned. Essam is a firm believer in reconnecting with nature after working hours in the city.
Lina
Aka Human Carabiner/ Partner
Lina
Aka Human Carabiner/ Partner
Lina started out as a stranger and somehow ended up helping run Grasp. She now leads GTA’s marketing, brand, partnerships and campaigns, while also running and guiding hikes. Making people feel included and like they belong is at the heart of how she leads. The only exception is her knees. Lina firmly believes her knee problems are Grasp’s
knee problems.
Tala
Aka Fatoush/ Partner
Tala
Aka Fatoush/ Partner
Tala brings her love for the outdoors and enthusiasm to every adventure, one Gen Z selfie at a time. As lead of the social media team, she’s got a thing for capturing moments and turning them into stories that feel real. Somewhere along the way, she also became our unofficial barista, brewing coffee on the trails and ensuring everyone is caffeinated and happy.
Khalid
Aka Avocado/ Adventure Lead
Khalid
Aka Avocado/ Adventure Lead
Khalid is one of the OG members of Grasp the Adventure and the team’s most knowledgeable guide. He somehow has an answer for almost everything, especially the things you never thought you’d need to know. He’s resourceful, dependable, extremely caring, and exactly the kind of person you want around when things don’t go according to plan. We believe every group needs a Khalid.
Abed
Aka Abed of all Trades /Adventure Lead
Abed
Aka Abed of all Trades /Adventure Lead
Abed has hiked across five continents, taking on everything from cold mountains to deserts and high altitude. A firm believer that growth lives somewhere outside your comfort zone, he’s always chasing a challenge, trail or sport, and has an annoying habit of getting pretty good at them quickly. Around camp, he’s happy behind the grill or picking up the Oud.
Mahdy
Aka Instigator/ Guide
Mahdy
Aka Instigator/ Guide
Mahdy found his passion for grasping the outdoors through continuously finding God in nature and decided to make it a habit. He has a talent for bringing people together, whether through his sense of humour or by sparking a topic that will have the whole group debating for hours to come. You’ll leave with newfound friends… and debate club partners!
Abbas
Aka Bodybuilding Father/ Guide
Abbas
Aka Bodybuilding Father/ Guide
Hiker and part-time bodybuilder turned family man. He hits the trails with more youthful banter than your average 13 year old. You can bet that if there is radio silence on the trail, his voice would be the first break through (or one of his many alter egos). Needless to say when Abbas is around, you will feel part of a family that sticks together through thick or thin. He is also the first to question Khalid’s encyclopaedic knowledge.

GTA has nurtured a lovely community of adventure-seekers looking to escape the mundanity of everyday life. I have travelled with GTA within and out of the UAE, and the only thing that I find myself wanting is more. GTA is your go-to if you're looking to make memories, and friends, that will last a lifetime.
