Saudi Arabia: Red Sea, The Saudi Coast

From serene desert expanses to coastal regions teeming with flora and fauna, the many wonders of Saudi Arabia are explored in Assouline’s latest collection. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia series features original works by premier photographers and artists. Each volume uncovers a unique treasure of the Kingdom, whether an ancient city or historic tribe.

Bordering the coastlines of eight countries, the Red Sea is a melting pot of civilizations, faiths and hopes. With unique coral reefs and diverse underwater life, the untouched nature and unmatched biodiversity thrive in the aquatic environment and have led to the creation of several preservation initiatives. As the setting of many epic journeys in literature, the Red Sea is imbued with a spirit of adventure.
