Filming the Adulis Archaeological Site
Adulis was an ancient city located along the Red Sea in the Gulf of Zula south of Massawa. The most notable item to film in this area is the foundation of a large 5th-century Byzantine basilica. Apart from the basilica, most of the ruins are still quite buried and a healthy dose of imagination is necessary to make the most of a visit.
