Welcome back to the Heart of Arabia Expedition podcast. Like Philby, Mark, Ana-Maria, Reem and Alan paused their journey in Riyadh. While Philby went into deep conversation with Ibn Saud, today’s team went back to their homes to recharge, refresh and to recap on all that leg 1 bought them.

But now their sights are very firmly lodged on 16th January when leg 2 will begin, leaving from Riyadh and making their way to Jeddah.

So join Mark, sitting on the coast in Oman for this look ahead to leg 2 where he outlines what they team will be doing and how this part of Philby’s time in Arabia became so pivotal to the formation of the nation of Saudi Arabia we know today.
