    Yanbu's "Seven Sisters" offers a solid Red Sea dive, a series of distinct coral heads that rise from the seafloor. We’ve found the best approach is to pick a couple of pinnacles and really explore them, looking for the smaller residents tucked into the crevices. You’ll often find lionfish hovering under ledges, and parrotfish munching on the coral. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers who appreciate a relaxed drift along the reef, with depths consistently around the 20-meter mark.
