Shuayba
The sites of my first trip snorkeling in the Red Sea, it's a great place to visit just for a Friday dive or even the whole weekend. 

Directions (from Jeddah)

  • Join the Jeddah/Makkah highway heading towards Makkah.

  • Take the "Christian Highway" when you reach the 'Non Muslims leave here' signs.

  • After on a few minutes, take the first junction to the right by the big petrol station, heading south. If you reach the Makkah/Taif highway you've missed this turnoff.

  • Continue to head south until you see the desalination plant on the coast to your right, taking the road signposted to it (now heading west towards the coast).

  • When you come to the front of the desalination plant, drive past it (south) and follow its fence, turning west again towards the sea when your reach the fence corner.

  • Find gaps in the fence on your left to get through and drive further south, along the coast, to a suitable diving / camping ground.

Tips

  • The coastguard are likely to visit, so be warned. you may want to beat them to it, and visit the coast guard station further south along the coast.
