48 whirlwind hours after their arrival in Jeddah Mark brings us up to date with the team’s reception on the Red Sea coast. He describes a cultural melting pot of people, sights, sounds and smells that are very different to what the team have been used to and left behind in Al Uqayr on the Arabian Gulf coast.

The expedition team were officially welcomed by dignitaries then later entertained by the British Consul General in Jeddah, who we hear from.

Mark ends by looking at happened to Philby in life after his trans Arabian expedition.
