Rare photographs on the Kingdom displayed in London

London, October 09, SPA -- An exhibition of rare historical
photographs on the Kingdom of Saudi Araba was held in Windows Royal
Castle in London.

The photos were taken by Princess Allis, granddaughter of Queen
Victoria of Britain, during a trip of Saudi Arabia in the year 1983.
The royal couple, Princess Allis and her husband were the first
British or European royal members to visit the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia.
The two-week exhibition was opened here last night by Princess
Alexandra, Saudi Charge d'Affaires in the United Kingdom Abdulrahman
Al-Suhaibani, Deputy Supervisor of King Abdulaziz Public Library Dr.
Abdulkareem bin Abdulrahman Al-Zaid and Lady O. Glaive.
In statements to the Saudi Press Agency, a number of officials
commented on the significance of the event.
For his part, Al-Zaid said Princess Allis is not an ordinary person
and her shots were not ordinary photos. She was then an influential
member of the British royal family who paved the way for better
bilateral relations between the two kingdoms.
He revealed that the exhibition is part of King Abdulaziz Public
Library's program to hold similar shows in Europe and other areas of
the world to further introduce to them the Saudi history, geography,
nature and culture.
