He added, "I visited nearly 160 countries, and I was an athlete, and I toured various parts of the Emirates, and during my tours I used to buy and collect old pieces, and when their number became large, I worked on classifying and separating them, and began collecting them within specific sections and boxes."
The beginning of passion
