Aynuna is an archaeological site in northwestern Saudi Arabia's Tabuk Region, situated about 5 km from the Red Sea coast at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba [1]. Archaeological remains are identified by most researchers with the Nabataean port of Leuke Kome, mentioned by the Greek geographer Strabo [1][2]. The settlement lay on a major trade route of the Incense Road and served as an important trading port [2].
