The Red Sea Museum is strengthening its cultural and educational offerings by extending its temporary exhibition, “Sunken Treasures: The Maritime Heritage of the Red Sea,” until August 15 at the Bab Al-Bunt building in Historic Jeddah.

The exhibition offers a comprehensive educational and visual experience that traces the evolution of shipwrecks from the remnants of maritime journeys into valuable historical archives and, ultimately, thriving natural habitats rich in coral reefs and marine life, SPA reported.

It reintroduces the Red Sea as a vital cultural and civilizational corridor that has long connected the Arabian Peninsula with Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean, facilitating trade, cultural exchange, and human interaction across centuries.

The “Sunken Treasures” exhibition reflects the Red Sea Museum’s role as a knowledge platform dedicated to promoting public understanding and supporting scientific research in collaboration with the Heritage Commission and the Jeddah Historic District Program.

The Film Commission of the Saudi Ministry of Culture announced the inclusion of the film "Bas Ya Bahar" (The Cruel Sea), one of the most prominent Gulf cinematic works, in the National Film Archive collection.

This step comes as part of the commission's efforts to preserve cinematic heritage, make these productions accessible to researchers, creators, and future generations, and highlight Arab cinematic works of cultural and historical significance, SPA reported.

Directed by Kuwaiti filmmaker Khalid Al-Siddiq in 1972, "Bas Ya Bahar" is the first full-length Kuwaiti feature film and one of the most important works in the history of Gulf cinema.

The film sheds light on the lives and hardships of pearl divers in their search for pearls before the discovery of oil, portraying the challenges faced by Gulf communities during that era.
