Popis: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has the longest shoreline on the Red Sea extending for more than 1500km. Moreover, the Saudi Red Sea towns and settlements have been actively involved in maritime activities for millennia. Yet, maritime archaeology in the kingdom is still a developing discipline. Nevertheless, archaeological projects that took place along the Red Sea coats, mainly in Egypt, indicated that there could be great potential for that field in Saudi Arabia, particularly with the availability of recourses for research and education.
