Safety notes
- Red Sea reef comes close to the surface and is sharp; wear something on your feet and do not stand on coral.
- Currents run strongly along the reef edge and many beaches have no lifeguard. Swim where other people are.
- Away from private resort beaches, modest swimwear is expected and photographing other beachgoers is not acceptable.

ComfortableToo hot
The Red Sea is warm and clear year-round and diving does not really have an off-season; what closes the beach in summer is the air, not the water. Asir inverts the national season. The escarpment above Abha sits high enough that summer is mild, and the summer mist and rain that roll up it are the reason people come — the domestic peak season here is the months that are impossible everywhere else.
