The Seven Brothers Islands, also known as the Sawabi Islands or Seba Islands, is an archipelago in the Dact-el-Mayun section of the Bab-el-Mandeb strait (between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden). They are within the Obock sub-prefecture of Djibouti, and are a notable diving site. Even in English publications, the group is often called by its French name, îles des Sept Frères.
