'''Adulis''' ([[Sabaic|Sabaean]]: {{lrm}}𐩱 𐩵 𐩡 𐩪, {{langx|gez|ኣዱሊስ}}, {{langx|grc|Ἄδουλις}}<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://topostext.org/work/241#A26.18 |title=Stephanus of Byzantium, Ethnica, §A26.18 |access-date=2020-01-19 |archive-date=2019-12-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191221053054/https://topostext.org/work/241#A26.18 |url-status=live }}</ref>) was an [[ancient]] city along the [[Red Sea]] in the [[Gulf of Zula]], about {{convert|40|km|sp=us}} south of [[Massawa]]. Its ruins lie within the modern Eritrean [[list of cities in Eritrea|city]] of [[Zula]]. It was the [[emporium (antiquity)|emporium]] considered part of the [[D’mt]] and the [[Kingdom of Aksum]]. It was close to [[Ancient Greece|Greece]] and the [[Byzantine Empire]], with its luxury goods and trade routes. Its location can be included in the area known to the [[ancient Egypt]]ians as the [[Land of Punt]], perhaps coinciding with the locality of ''Wddt'', recorded in the geographical list of the [[Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C9J7DwAAQBAJ |title=Stories of Globalisation: The Red Sea and the Persian Gulf from Late Prehistory to Early Modernity: Selected Papers of Red Sea Project VII |first1=Andrea |last1=Manzo |first2=Chiara |last2=Zazzaro |first3=Diana Joyce De |last3=Falco |date=Nov 26, 2018 |publisher=BRILL |isbn=9789004362321 |access-date=May 18, 2021 |via=Google Books |archive-date=July 26, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240726080310/https://books.google.com/books?id=C9J7DwAAQBAJ |url-status=live }}</ref>
