The Farasan Banks is a massive and largely unexplored reef system off the coast of Saudi Arabia. It offers some of the most pristine and untouched coral reefs in the entire Red Sea, with incredible biodiversity and virtually no other divers.
Features
A huge, remote, and pristine archipelago. The diving here is considered to be some of the best in the Red Sea, with incredible coral health and fish biomass due to the almost complete lack of dive tourism. Primarily accessed by liveaboard.
