Saudi Arabia

Shaban

Shaban is a town in northwest Saudi Arabia near the Red Sea coast. While the area is not a major diving hub, the Red Sea region offers notable diving opportunities nearby along the Saudi coast. Within easy reach are several established dive centers and dive sites, but Shaban itself is more of a coastal gateway context rather than a primary dive destination. If you’re visiting for diving, use Shaban as a base to access coastal access points and the broader Red Sea diving options further afield in the region.
