Correct city name in English
[edit]I spend a month in the Yanbu area (from 10/29/2013 through 11/29/2013) and not once did I see a highway sign that showed "Yanbu' al Bahr". They ALL showed "Yanbu al Bahar". I have a few photos, but self-research is prohibited. I welcome someone to find a verifiable and reliable source so we can correct this error. Thanks. --Art Smart Chart/Heart 02:52, 11 December 2013 (UTC)blablablablablabla
- Not an error: simply a transliteration variant. The Arabic name has not changed; Arabic words usually do not show a short vowel such as the second 'a' in Bahar whereas we usually show it in English. Both are correct. Cross Reference (talk) 06:33, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
