The Red Sea near Jeddah attracts divers from all over the world because of its vibrant and magical sea. It looks calm on the surface, but beneath it, the sea keeps a hidden beauty.
The marine life and the corals are no doubt an experience within themselves, but divers do not flock to this site for just the outstanding nature on offer. The sea also keeps an artificial treasure: The ships that have sunk along the coasts.
Some of the ships were victims to weather conditions and some to technical failures, the haunting allure of these giants makes for a once-in-a-lifetime diving experience.
The “cable wreck” — a ship that sank while carrying construction material — is one of the top attractions. The sunken beast has been utilized by marine life, turning it into their home, which divers can navigate through.
Another shipwreck, named “Ann Ann wreck,” is a bigger and more challenging dive. It is suitable for experienced divers and must be discovered under artificial lights.
The third highlight that rests at the bottom of the shallow waters is the “marble wreck.” It is the most suitable attraction for rookie divers. A few sections of the ship have collapsed and marble has spread across the metal carcass.

Saudi watchdog warns of possible health risk from Nestle baby formula
- Company voluntarily recalls its Nan, Alfamino, S-26 Gold and S-26 Ultima products over concerns they might be contaminated with cereulide, a toxin produced by bacteria
- Saudi Food and Drug Authority says recall is precautionary and no related illnesses have been reported, but advises consumers to dispose of recalled products immediately
RIYADH: The Saudi Food and Drug Authority on Tuesday warned the public not to consume certain Nestle infant formula products, after the company issued a voluntary recall over concerns about possible contamination.
The advisory covers products marketed under the Nan, Alfamino, S-26 Gold and S-26 Ultima brands. They might be contaminated with cereulide, a toxin produced by the Bacillus cereus bacteria, which can pose a risk to infant health, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The Saudi authority said the recall was a precautionary measure and no related illnesses have been reported. Possible symptoms of exposure can include nausea, repeated vomiting and abdominal pain.
It advised consumers to dispose of the recalled products immediately, and said it was coordinating with Nestle to ensure they are removed from stores and is monitoring the process.
Full details of the affected products, including batch numbers, are available at the Saudi Food and Drug Authority website. The organization said consumers can report any food safety concerns by calling 19999.
