👉 The term "shereefs" is a mix of two words, "sareef" and "shereen," referring to a type of sand dune that forms in the Indian Ocean. Shereefs are known for their unique shape and appearance, with steep slopes and wide, open spaces. They are characterized by their flat surfaces and lack any vegetation, making them an ideal habitat for various marine life, including krill, sea turtles, and other marine animals.
