This site is in Jeddah, Saudi Arabias’ primier port city on the Red Sea. El- Nakeel is a private beach that many westerners go to since their are very few restrictions regarding women and their bathing attire. The diving is a beautiful wall and an abundance if fish and vegitation. Unlike the Red Sea in Egypt, this area is still very beautiful and not "over dove: at all. Groupers, Unicornfish, Clown fish, Turtles, Sting Rays, and a beautiful wall are just a part of this wonderful site. The water is also quite warm year round, remember it is 80 degrees in the cold cruel winter months there.
