The Saudi Red Sea coastline runs for more than 1,700 kilometres and carries coral reefs along much of it. This half day is a boat trip out from a marina on the Jeddah waterfront, beside the Corniche, to a reef within easy reach of the city.
Time in the water is the point, so the boat anchors and stays put rather than moving between several sites. Equipment is provided and the crew stay with the group throughout. Anyone spending longer on this coast can look at Yanbu, another base for reef trips on the same shoreline.
