Edinburgh Evening News
|December 17, 2025
An explorer from Edinburgh has become the first person to walk the length of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from north to south entirely on foot.
Alice Morrison walked the length of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Writer and TV presenter Alice Morrison's world-first expedition concluded at 10.30am Saudi time on Monday in Najran on the Saudi-Yemen border.
Accompanied by her camels, Juicy and Lulu, and supported by a small specialist team, the 62-year-old covered a total of 2,195km over 112 days.
Her expedition began on January 1 this year and she split the walk over two winter seasons. The full route was too long to tackle in a single season due to extreme heat and the month of Ramadan.
