'Red Sea: The Saudi Coast'

With its pockets of untouched nature, unmatched biodiversity and unique coral reefs, the Red Sea is just as special for its aquatic environment as it is for its geographic location that positions it as a melting pot of civilizations and faiths. Though the sea borders the coastlines of eight countries, Assouline's 'Red Sea: The Saudi Coast' hones in on the Saudi Arabian side to capture the diversity and spirit of adventure that imbues this stretch of water. Featuring text from author Christopher Smith alongside photography by Aline Coquelle, Ameen Qaisaran and Afnan Alkhayat, Mohammed Al Sharif and Yarob Bashrahil, this newest addition to Assouline's 'Classic Collection' explores the magic of the diverse underwater life in this part of the Red Sea, as well as the measures taken to preserve it.
