Hər şəhərin bir ruhu var — Dammamın ruhu isə sakitlik və dəniz qoxusudur. Burada həyat tələsmir. Günəş dənizə batanda, şəhər sanki susur 🥰

If you're visiting Dammam, the largest capital city in eastern Saudi Arabia, here's a recommended attraction: Attractions: King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (known as Ithra) is one of the largest cultural centers in Saudi Arabia. It promotes arts, culture, learning, and innovation. It's located on the site of Saudi Arabia's first oil field in Dhahran (eastern Saudi Arabia). Operated by Saudi Aramco. Getting there: Dammam Airport is about a 30-kilometer drive, and the city itself is about 10 kilometers away. Renting a car from the airport is the most convenient option. Tip: Dammam Airport is the largest airport in the world. You can choose to transit there and have a layover of more than six hours to explore this cultural center. A visa is required.

📅 Travel Itinerary If you have the opportunity to transit and have an overnight layover, like me, I recommend visiting Dammam. Those arriving at King Fahd International Airport, the world's largest airport, can rent a car into the city to explore Dammam. I recommend these two interesting attractions: Place 1: The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (known as Ithra), one of Saudi Arabia's largest cultural centers. It promotes arts, culture, learning, and innovation. It's located near Saudi Arabia's first oil field. Place 2: Khobar Seafront, or Khobar Corniche, is a developed coastline for relaxation, walking, jogging, exercising, and enjoying the sea view. 🏨 Recommended accommodation: Khobar Palace Hotel, located near the Khobar Seafront. 🍴 Recommended restaurants Not far from the hotel is an Indonesian restaurant that caters to Thais. For those tired of Arab-style food, you can also choose to enjoy Indonesian food here. 📌 Tip I recommend staying overnight to give you a chance to explore the island. It doesn't take long to explore everything here.
