Young Emirati inventor is going to travel the world

He offered Adeeb the world tour to help to give him more self-confidence and to inspire other young inventors from the UAE. Adeep got the inspiration when he was at the beach with his family. His father couldn't swim because he couldn't risk getting his prosthetic leg wet. Adeeb will be staying with relatives in Germany.
