Tour Introduction

This tour explores the story of Thomas Edward Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia) and the attack on the Turkish-built Hejaz railway, part of the Arab Revolt, in what is now Saudi Arabia. Travelling through seldom visited desert areas we marvel over what remains to be seen –locomotives, carriages, water towers, block houses and stations - many of which have been restored to offer an imaginative insight into the dramatic events. Staying in Riyadh, Tabuk, Madina and Al Ula we also visit Lawrence’s House in Yanbu and the spectacular Wadi Bajdah. This is a perfect complement to our Lawrence of Arabia: Jordan and the Arab Revolt tour.

Highlights

• Explore the Hejaz Railway, including restored locomotives, carriages, blockhouses, and stations
• Learn about Lawrence of Arabia’s campaigns and their role in the Arab Revolt.
• Stay in key Saudi cities: Riyadh, Tabuk, Madina, and Al Ula.
• Visit Lawrence’s House in Yanbu, where he was based during operations.
• Discover the spectacular desert landscapes of Wadi Baidah.
• Gain an imaginative and historically rich insight into a seldom-visited area of Saudi Arabia.
• Perfect companion to the “Lawrence of Arabia: Jordan and the Arab Revolt” tour.

"“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”"

T. E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom
