Reviews
An extraordinary story of faith, bravery and perseverance. Mostafa Salameh, the first Muslim to climb the Seven Summits and reach both Poles, claims each of us has an Everest within us; this book persuades us we can all achieve our goals if we have the courage to begin trying. -- Ranulph Fiennes, explorer, fundraiser, author and public speaker
Mostafa Salameh's story should be read for its larger message on the determination necessary to face real challenges and make a change for the better. -- His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan
A heroic epic for the ages: The trailblazing path of Jordan's most famous global explorer and conqueror of the Three Poles. -- HRH Princess Ghida Talal of Jordan, Chairperson of the King Hussein Cancer Foundation
Dreams of a Refugee is not merely a self-help/motivational/positive thinking book, neither is it a tragic story of refugees and their painful struggle in the unjust world; it is a story of finding one's true self, a purpose, to dream and live to bring a change for the better. * Free Press Journal, Mumbai *
A wonderful evocation of what the human spirit can achieve, through grit, determination, inspiration and leadership in the face of all types of adversity. -- H. E. Mr Edward Oakden, British Ambassador to Jordan
Inspiring is an understatement, this book spreads hope to the hopeless, optimism to the pessimist, and wakes the sleeping adventurer in many; I am witness to how many young people from all walks of life are touched by his story. -- Maher Kaddoura, businessman and philanthropist
