Saudi Arabia is bordered by two seas: the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf (which is sometimes referred to as the Arabian Gulf).
Saudi Arabia's geographic location on the Arabian Peninsula gives it coastlines on both of these significant bodies of water. The Red Sea lies to the west of Saudi Arabia, while the Persian Gulf is located to the east. These coastlines are important for shipping, trade, and access to marine resources. The Red Sea is a vital shipping lane connecting the Indian Ocean to the Suez Canal, while the Persian Gulf is crucial for oil transportation.
