Ghurab Reef
Why dive here
Ghurab Reef is a reef dive in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Water ranges 26-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ghurab Reef sits just off Jeddah, a straightforward dive dropping to 21 meters. It’s a good spot for newer divers, offering calm conditions to practice skills. Expect to see some of the usual Red Sea suspects-parrotfish, a few groupers, maybe a passing triggerfish if you’re lucky. We find it’s best as a relaxed afternoon dive, not one for chasing big pelagics.
