    hi friends :) new adventure begins on our Seek channel right here 😇
  • @drewbinsky
    This is the best video on YouTube, and your productions are getting better with every upload. So much emotion. Truly insipriational. Insane animations and FPV drone shots of the pyramids, and the jump gave me goosebumps. Love you guys and can't wait for our next adventure together!! :)
  • "i am home". the words of a child coming back to his roots, fulfilling the dream of a lifetime. this is absolutely wonderful!
  • My first dream as a child was becoming an astronaut and to this day I'm still chasing this dream. I'm currently on the way to achieve my masters degree in Aerospace Engineering. After which I plan to start flight school whilst eagerly waiting for the next call of ESA astronauts! Ammar, you and the rest of the Yes Theory family have only inspired me more to keep chasing this dream, because I believe I can make it a reality! This astonishing video proves once again that the impossible is in fact possible no matter what people tell you! Much love from Belgium! ❤️👨🏻‍🚀🪂
  • At 60 years old, I too am a free child. I grew up in an era where people weren’t very tolerant of each other. My dream, even at 7 years old was to bring harmony. So much so that I would draw posters that were hung in the hallways of my school that was integrated for the first time ever. My dream hasn’t changed. Now, as I have become older, I love all things Egypt. Watching your adventure was a joy. Thank you for sharing.
  • @projectphyrexia
    "egypt is brighter with you in it" momma ammar seems like such a respectful, kind soul. bless her, alongside all her loved ones.
  • This video made me cry about 4 times. It is so beautiful to see that Ammar got to fulfill his lifelong dream and to do it with his father, is a feeling that I am unable to put into words. My lifelong dream since I was a child, is to travel the world, and have the ability to bring my parents along. It is hard to travel at such a young age and to bring your parents along is harder. I haven’t done this yes, and I wish that one day, I will be able to fulfill this dream.

    In my 51st year, I feel we all are kids at heart. I lost my father on Dec 29th to colon cancer. I so wish I could have brought him to see the pyramids to see their beauty & mystery. My dream after seeing your video is to touch my Dad one more time, seeing that this is an impossibility.. sky diving over the pyramids is the next best thing... I might not be able to touch him, but I can be very close to him in heaven. Thank you for making this video it was very inspiring & touching.
  • @alextreejay
    Just like many will comment below, I was in tears multiple times watching this. I feel like I've been on this journey with all of you from the videos, to the book, since close to the beginning. Thank you for showing me and the rest of us that dreams do come true as long as you work, put the time in, and are relentless in the pursuit. For that, I say thank you. *To my childhood dream, I wanted to travel the world, just like my mom. She was a travel agent for many of her younger years. Sadly, she passed away a little over a year ago from a rare disease called Scleroderma. Last year I ran my first marathon and raised $2,700 for Scleroderma research in honour of her name. I would love to do this as well in honour of her. If I'm not chosen, I'm just glad to have shared some of my thoughts and feelings to the world. God bless you all.

    The first dream I ever had as a kid was to proove I'm worthy... Thank you for making me realising my free child has been locked away too soon, too long. Thank you for everything. Beyond words. Love over fear.
  • @OddGuysOfficial
    What a video! Absolutely incredible and what an experience to jump over the pyramids! My dream since childhood has always been to make movies that not only show the beauty and wonders of the world but also help people become a better version of themselves through cinematography. I cant wait to one day see one of my own film in cinemas with many people watching it! But to also see the world myself in all its glory and capture that.
  • @livingtheskylife
    I am weeping. To see this journey unfold over the years through all of the pain and adversity to this pure, beautiful celebration of a moment is so incredibly inspiring in infinite ways. Had me in tears of joy!
  • @nebx2127
    Returning to YesTheory after having watched them years ago feels insane. So much change. I’m glad it’s good change.
  • @PickleDrag
    As a long time follower, this one brought me to tears. Congratulations to you for your unwavering commitment to following your dreams. None of this happened without taking risk & the full circle moment landed right above the pyramids you dreamt of climbing all those years back. Heli snowboarding is the first dream I can remember as a kid. To have a helicopter drop you at the edge of an untouched face, where no man has ever stood, and no line has ever been taken. I'm still in pursuit of this dream & I hope to accomplish it much like you did, Ammar!
  • @iptt_7181
    Watched the egypt videos 7 years ago as a 14 year old teenager, now watching it happen as a 21 year old woman, crying my eyes out. We are so proud of you Ammar🪂💙
  • @cadguyfrompti
    Is there a greater and more fitting compliment that “Egypt is brighter with you in it”? It’s so wholesome! Love it!
  • @lukasbrida9530
    I cried with you when you stepped foot in Egypt again! You are such an inspiration to me and probably so many more people out there! Keep up the fantastic work with Yes Theory, and much love from Austria ❤
  • @petiiii_s
    Ammar!!! It gives me goosebumps to see you fulfilling your dream. And the whole production—it's incredible to see the progress. I'm just finishing Matt's book right now, and connecting all the dots and timelines about the whole story and seeing it here made me tear up a bit🥺 About my childhood dream. As a girl from the city of Prague in the Czech Republic, I always sought more warmth, sea, and palms (we always want something we don't have). I wanted to be a world-known adventurer going on expeditions in tropical countries, helping the environment and endangered animals. I am 24 now and have spent the last couple of years traveling around the world, finishing a degree in environmental management, and teaching yoga. Soon, I will go back to SE Asia to volunteer and backpack. And I can say I owe a lot of that to you guys. Without your videos, I might have never stepped out of my comfort zone and booked the first one-way ticket. :) THANK YOU💛 btw. If you would ever planned to shoot in Prague, I got y'all!!! 🥰
  • @Guahllejf
    What an amazing and emotional watch! Watching you fulfill your dream with your father alongside you had me sobbing in tears! Sending you so much love Ammar, be proud of yourself! Absolutely love the message too, never let your inner child die my friend! Ive been following your channel for the last 6 years and I just can't explain how happy I am to see you share so much joy with your family ones! The very first dream I can remember was, I want to become a farmer and have animals like my grandfather, haha. Luckily I have this wonderful little child in me always coming up with new dreams to fulfill, and there is nothing I love more..
