Saudi Arabia

Yanbu

Yanbu is a coastal administrative region centered on Yanbu on the Red Sea coast in northwestern Saudi Arabia. The area offers access to gulf and reef environments along the Red Sea with a mix of shallow shore dives and access to boat-based sites from Yanbu’s harbor. Dive activity in the region is limited compared to larger Saudi dive hubs, but regional accessibility via Yanbu makes it a practical base for divers exploring the northern Red Sea coast and related marine life typical of the area.
