Plongée à Yanbu — Saudi Arabia
Yanbu sits on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast with pristine reefs that have been off-limits to international tourism until recently. The Seven Sisters reef system offers some of the healthiest coral in the northern Red Sea, with easy shore access and minimal diver traffic. Saudi Vision 2030 is rapidly developing infrastructure while the marine ecosystem remains virtually untouched.
