JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia’s coasts feature dozens of ancient sea caves that contain diverse marine life, attracting diving and water sports enthusiasts from around the world.
Among them, the Abu Al-Madafa caves north of Jeddah are known for their clear waters, deep caverns and colorful coral reefs. They are a popular spot for divers, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Located just a 30-minute boat ride away from Jeddah, the caves offer narrow underwater passages filled with marine life. Reaching depths of up to 60 meters, the site includes rich coral formations, the SPA added.
Moderate currents allow for clear visibility, drawing experienced divers to see tuna, barracuda, blacktip and whitetip sharks, and various reef fish. The biodiversity offers a close look at Red Sea marine ecosystems.
