In modern Saudi Arabia, about 3km inland from the modern fishing port of al‑Khuraybah on the Gulf of Aqaba, a pair of ancient Nabatean sites occupy high ground to the northwest of the Wadi Aynuna. Settled since at least the Hellenistic period, Aynuna probably served as a Red Sea port for Petra. Most scholars agree that these sites are to be identified collectively with Leuke Kome, mentioned in Strabo and the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea; however, some other locations have been posited (see Gawlikowski 2022, note 5).
