Not to be confused with the Egyptian site, El Ikhwa ('The Brothers') in Saudi Arabia are two remote offshore islands offering world-class diving. The reefs are pristine, and the strong currents attract a huge amount of pelagic life, including many species of sharks.
Features
Two remote offshore islands that are the Saudi equivalent of Egypt's Brothers Islands. The diving features sheer walls, strong currents, and a very high chance of encountering sharks, including hammerheads, silvertips, and oceanic whitetips.
