Along the east and west coasts of Saudi Arabia are two seas that contain a treasure of marine life that few knew existed -- and even fewer had ever seen. The Arabian Gulf was formed at the end of the last Ice Age, some 10,000 years ago, and the Red Sea's history goes back even further. And now, thanks to Saudi Aramco, for the first time millions of viewers across the globe are able to marvel and see up close the exotic marine life that populates these two bodies of water. Saudi Aramco teamed up with award winning British documentary makers Icon Films to produce Desert Seas, a 60 minute natural history production that took more than a year to produce. The film's objective was clear: to expose the world to the wondrous subsurface realms of the Kingdom's waters.

We never get enough nature documentaries from this particular area for obvious reasons. I learned so much from this one.

I've been listening to David Attenborough since I was a child and at 62 y/o now whenever I hear him I know I'm in for an interesting narrative. He is 94 years and is living a life few of us could even dream of..He was 87 when he narrated this program.

11:34 "cruising the hood" never thought I'd ever hear David Attenborough speaking slang.

When my parrot heard David Attenborough's voice he immediately flew over to my shoulder. He knows quality when he hears it.

I used to live and work in Salalah (a coastal city in Oman) for 4 years. Unfortunately, I only went snorkeling a few times. but the sea life was remarkable. This video brought back a lot of memories.
