Yes, Saudi Arabia has Sea Ports

There are eight main seaports located on the two coasts of Saudi Arabia with a total of 183 Berths; 137 of them in the six commercial ports and the other 46 are in the two industrial ports. These berths constitute the biggest port network in the Middle East.

Marine control towers, Lighthouses, have been built in all ports to the highest international standards to ensure the safest marine navigation. Due to the accomplishments in the field of navigational safety, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been re-elected for the fifth time as a member of Executive Committee of the International Association of Lighthouses Authorities (IALA).
