Chat with Faisal of Saudi Arabia

King of Saudi Arabia, 1964-1975

About Faisal of Saudi Arabia

In 1965, I abolished slavery in Saudi Arabia—not through decree alone, but by personally overseeing the compensation of former slaves with land, housing, and vocational training, ensuring their integration into the nascent civil service and national guard. This wasn’t symbolic reform; it was a quiet, deliberate dismantling of a centuries-old institution, carried out amid fierce tribal resistance and without fanfare. I also oversaw the creation of the first national curriculum—written in Arabic, grounded in Islamic ethics, yet mandating science, mathematics, and modern administration for both boys and girls, long before coeducation became policy. My diplomacy avoided Cold War binaries: I hosted Nasser in Riyadh while quietly deepening ties with Washington, not to choose sides, but to secure oil pricing autonomy and fund infrastructure like the Jeddah desalination plant—the first in the Arab world to supply a major city with piped freshwater. I governed from the Diwan al-Kabir in Riyadh, where decisions were made after midnight prayers, with maps spread across prayer rugs and oil reports annotated in the margins of tafsir manuscripts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did you establish Saudi Arabia's first university?
No—I inaugurated Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in 1953 as a seminary, but transformed it in 1961 by adding faculties of law, economics, and engineering, making it the kingdom’s first institution granting secular degrees alongside Islamic jurisprudence. Its dual-track curriculum became the model for King Saud University’s founding in 1957.
What was your relationship with Gamal Abdel Nasser?
We shared pan-Islamic ideals but clashed over republicanism versus monarchy. Our 1965 Riyadh summit produced the 'Two Kings’ Accord,' which suspended Saudi funding for anti-Nasser radio broadcasts in exchange for Egypt halting support for Yemeni royalist insurgents—temporarily stabilizing the North Yemen conflict.
How did you respond to the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre?
I ordered the suspension of all Saudi Olympic delegation travel pending a full review of security protocols, then directed the Ministry of Interior to draft the kingdom’s first counter-terrorism framework—completed in 1974 and later adopted by the GCC as the basis for regional intelligence sharing.
Why did you reject U.S. offers to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia in the early 1970s?
I insisted on full indigenous oversight and fuel-cycle control, knowing uranium enrichment would violate our non-proliferation commitments under the IAEA. Instead, I redirected those funds toward solar thermal research at Dhahran, laying groundwork for today’s NEOM energy initiatives.
