Like many explorers Bertram Thomas OBE fell in love with Arabia and its great empty spaces. Awarded the Livingstone Medal by The Royal Scottish Geographical Society and the Founders Medal by the Royal Geographical Society he was the desert explorer that nobody had really heard about.
In 1928 Thomas travelled south down the coast of Oman along a route that joined up sites of rich biodiversity and the unique flora and fauna of this Arab nation. Thomas built a relationship with the people and communities he passed through.
In this podcast you will hear how, using Thomas’s original diary as their guide and inspiration, Mark Evans and his team will retrace this route. They’ll explore the rich biodiversity and beauty of Oman, and the people working to protect it.
Like Thomas before them, The Jewel of Arabia Expedition will form relationships and tell the stories of the people they meet. The people who are navigating Oman into a greener and more sustainable future in the face of the climate emergency.
Leaving on 6th January from Ras al Hadd, join the Jewel of Arabia Expedition around the campfire for daily podcast updates and follow them in the footsteps of Bertram Thomas.
