Dammam, the capital of Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, is a vibrant leisure and business hub, popular with visitors working in the kingdom’s oil industry and tourists looking to discover its many attractions, from popular shopping destinations to beaches and cultural landmarks.

Located on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, the city is home to one of Saudi Arabia’s most attractive promenades, the palm-lined corniche, which is just a short walk from Dana Rayhaan by Rotana, as well as many popular retail and leisure complexes including Marina Mall, Al Shatea Mall, Al Othaim Mall, West Avenue, Al Nakheel Mall and Saco World.

King Abdullah Park and Dammam Stadium are major destinations for events and sports while new attractions include an interactive aquarium. Castles, museums and a Heritage Village also appeal to visitors and 30 minutes out of town, the east coast’s Half Moon Beach is the place to picnic, try a new water sport or enjoy a fun day out with the family.
