About this site
Dhabaiyah lies along the coastline of Abu Dhabi emirate in the United Arab Emirates, in the shallow waters of the Arabian Gulf near Ad Dubayyah. Artificial reef structures placed in this stretch of the Gulf typically serve to establish hard substrate for marine growth in an area otherwise dominated by sand and silt seabed.
