Two islands in the middle of the Red Sea, accessible from Jeddah, are considered one of the best diving spots in the world.
The Islands – the Big Brother and the Little Brother – are two small exposed promontories that just come out of the water in the middle of the Red Sea
They have a very high concentration of marine life and it is so worth a visit. Expect sponges, anemones, all sorts of hard and soft corals, and all kinds of fish.
You can also see a lot of different types of shark!
