Ancient Jubail Church
Jubail Church is an ancient church building near Jubail, a city in the Eastern province on the Gulf coast of Saudi Arabia, north of Dammam. The date of the Jubail Church is contentious. Some sources claim it dates back to the fourth century whereas others place it in the seventh. It is built of locally available gypsum covered with stucco. Designs and architecture suggests it is contemporary with similar Christian sites known from al-Qusur, Sir Bani Yas. When discovered, it contained two visible crosses in the stucco that have since been destroyed.
