Saudi man builds rare kind of marine museum

A Saudi man established a first-of-its-kind marine museum on Farasan Island in the Jazan region.

Zaylai AlZaylai used special tools to mummify marine creatures, including fish and turtles, in addition to sea crustaceans. He revealed that the material comes from distinct trees on the island.

AlZaylai began collecting marine artifacts about 16 years ago, pointing out that he bought some of them from fishermen, and later cleaned and mummified them with the help of his wife.
