Duba (Saudi Arabia)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duba also Dhiba ( Arabic ضبا, DMG Ḍubā ) is a port city in Saudi Arabia in the Tabuk province .

The city is located in the northwest of the country on the Red Sea and has around 22,000 inhabitants.

To the north of the city is a medium-wave transmitter that broadcasts the state radio program of the BSKSA (Broadcasting Service Of The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia) on two frequencies (594 kHz and 1521 kHz) . Since both frequencies are broadcast with a high transmission power of 2000 kW each, they (especially 1521 kHz) can be received very well in Germany in the evening and at night.
