Duba

Duba is a coastal administrative region in northern Saudi Arabia, centered on the town of Duba near Tabuk Province. The area marks the transition between the Red Sea coast and the Gulf of Aqaba region influence, with limited local diving infrastructure. Diving activity in the broader Gulf of Aqaba offers notable reef ecosystems just across the border, but within this administrative area the coast is more about access and gateway potential than a dense concentration of dive sites. Visitors typically explore nearby dive centers and expeditions along the Saudi Red Sea coastline, with calm, warm water during the season and modest visibility barriers compared with famed reef gaps further south. The region serves as a practical access point for divers targeting the Aqaba Gulf area from northern Saudi Arabia.
