    Qabriyah offers a straightforward dive in Yanbu, suitable for divers looking for a relaxed experience. The reef here is home to a good mix of Red Sea regulars, like parrotfish grazing the corals and the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice. It’s a decent spot for a casual afternoon dive, without the drama of some of the deeper sites further north. We'd say it's best for newer divers or those who just want to log some relaxed bottom time.
