Dammam, the largest city in eastern Saudi Arabia

📅 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.
