Lubna Street Reef
Dubai · United Arab Emirates
One of Dubai's most accessible reef dives, Lubna Street Reef is a shallow artificial structure built from reinforced concrete and colonised by an impressive diversity of hard corals for a Gulf site. Juvenile fish in every colour pack the coral heads while adult surgeonfish and parrotfish graze openly in the clear winter water. It serves as an excellent second dive after a deeper wreck and is ideal for underwater photography in natural light.
