Duba port

Duba Port is located in the north-western corner of the Arabian Gulf in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The port is situated in the Al-Duba Governorate, which is in the Al-Qassim province. It is approximately 10 kilometers from the city of Al-Duba and is close to the international highway between Riyadh and Al-Qassim.

The port is one of the oldest in the region and has a long history. It was first established in the late 19th century by the Ottoman Empire and was used as a military base. During World War I, the port was used by the British Royal Navy to resupply their forces in the Middle East.

In the early 20th century, the port was used by the Saudis to export oil and other commodities. In the 1950s, the port began to be used commercially and the port facilities were upgraded to accommodate larger vessels. In the 1970s, the port was modernized and expanded to include a container terminal and a dry dock.

Today, Duba Port is a major hub for the import and export of goods in the region. It is also a major point of entry for ships travelling to and from the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Indian Ocean. The port is equipped with modern facilities and is capable of handling large container ships.

The port is also an important historical site in the region. It was the site of a major battle between the Saudis and the Ottomans in 1915. The battle marked the beginning of the Saudi-Ottoman War, which eventually led to Saudi Arabia gaining independence from the Ottoman Empire.
