Yanbu Saudi Arabia

At first glance, with its port, refineries and petrochemical plants, Yanbu might not seem like the Kingdom's most appealing spot. But it's quickly becoming the top tourist destination in the country, with its top-notch scuba-diving spots and pristine white sandy beaches, many of which have resorts and private beaches designed for families. The industrial part of Yanbu is a good 10km to 15km south of the city centre and doesn't really affect the stunning beaches to the north. The city centre is small but charming, with a relaxed atmosphere that's not found in the larger cities. Just outside the town is a vast, open desert that leads to the water, and it's here that most visitors spend their time: imagine sitting on the beach with few, if any, people on either side of you. The Hajj season, which attracts large crowds, is the exception.
