Female explorers of Arabia – Expedition Diary Day 18
Manage episode 352990785 series 3387062
The Royal Geographical Society in London was Philby’s second home. On returning to London, he would offload all the information he had gathered on his travels to the cartographers who would update their maps of the region. Today’s expedition team were excited to hear yesterday that Reem will now also take to the stage of the RGS in London on the 8th February to talk about being a female explorer in Arabia.
Back in Saudi Arabia Mark and Ana are trying to get over chest infections but the team’s admiration for Philby and his narrative continues to grow. His descriptions of the land, the way the wadi’s interconnect are all still great navigational aids today for the team.
