The Fishermen of Yanbu: Tradition Empowered

This series documents the lives of fishermen in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, whose work has been supported through a community initiative led by Saudi Aramco. In collaboration with the Saudi Border Guard, the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, and Nesma Holding Company, the programme provided new boats and essential equipment to help local fishermen sustain their livelihoods and support their families. The photographs capture their daily routines and the enduring spirit with which they navigate the Red Sea. The initiative reflects a blend of tradition and progress — strengthening the local fishing community while supporting broader economic resilience.
