Saudi Bedouin, Khamis bin Rimthan, is the local legend who helped an American petroleum geologist to find the Kingdom’s first oil well, then known as ‘Dammam No. 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everyone knew that Khamis knew Saudi like the back of his hand\u00a0<\/h3>\n

He was considered the guide of all guides, quoting The Jeddah Times.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When he passed away, an oilfield was named after him in 1974 to recognise his efforts in helping discover oil\u00a0<\/h3>\n
