While it is a bit late, I would like to congratulate the The Heart of Arabia Expedition team on the successful completion of their journey! The expedition concluded on January 30th, 2023, when the team reached Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The team of Mark Evans, MBE, Ana-Maria Pavalache, Alan Morrissey, and Reem Philby set out on November 15th, 2022 for the first stage of their two-stage expedition.
The 1,300km trek across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia loosely followed the steps of Harry St John Philby's 1917 mission to Ibn Saud, the Kingdom's first leader. Utilizing walking, camels, and 4X4 vehicles, they also collected field data, which supported the work of 3 research projects focusing on chiropterology, lithic artifacts, and health and performance in extreme environments. The team also met with various Saudi leaders.
Congrats once again to the team, and welcome back!
