Diving is popular in the Middle East and Africa due to the region's rich marine biodiversity, pristine coral reefs, and abundant unique underwater ecosystems. The warm waters, favorable diving conditions, and the opportunity to encounter diverse marine species make it an attractive destination for diving enthusiasts from around the world.
Daymaniyat Islands in Oman, for instance, opened for tourism in 2013. These feature one of the most prominent diving spots in the Middle East, having coral reefs with angelfish clownfish, Arabian butterflyfish, and whale sharks.
According to an article published by Further Africa in May 2023, the country's Inhambane Provincial Executive Council intends to designate the northern part of the province as a special economic zone for tourism in order to attract more foreign investment and foster the socio-economic and tourism development of this area.
