Mariam Fardous height - How tall is Mariam Fardous?

Mariam worked as a doctor after she graduated from the Medical College of KAU in 2009. She had already learned to dive in the Red Sea the year before as she was inspired by the stories about diving in the Red Sea which were told by her father when she a child. She decided to be the first Arab women to dive deep in the Arctic Ocean and then to reach the North Pole. She undertook training sessions under similar climatic conditions in order to accomplish her achievement. Fardous achieved this despite her commitments as a physician. Her attempt interested the Saudi women community as they were generally prohibited from driving, competing in sports under restricted women's rights and Sharia law. Many of these were relaxed in 2017. On 1 May 2015, she became the first Arab woman to cross the North Arctic Circle and later on 16 April 2016 (at the age of 33), she became the first Arab woman and third overall woman to dive in the North Pole. She was the first Saudi physician to dive in North Pole.

She received the MBBS degree from KAU University - Jeddah in 2009 and holds Master's Degree with honors in epidemology from College of Public Health and Health Informatics of KSAU-HS in 2017.

On 7 November 2007, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia recognised Mariam Fardous's three years of humanitarian work during the Hajj seasons. On 15 September 2015, she was appointed as the Ambassador for the African Non-profit organization African Impacts.
