In partnership with the University of Oxford, through the Middle East Centre at St Antony’s College, the King Abdulaziz Foundation for Research and Archives (Darah) is hosting a virtual lecture entitled “Philby’s Journey to Riyadh, 1917–1918.” The lecture will explore Philby’s route to Riyadh and the political and geographical dimensions of his journey, his observations of Riyadh and the conditions in central Arabia at the time, and the journey’s lasting scholarly significance for researchers and historians.
