The Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia holds historical, economic and cultural heft and offers visitors the chance to experience this progressive and ever-adapting region. Dammam, its anchor city, is home to cultural landmarks and the kingdom’s oil and gas industry.
Spend time at Dammam’s Heritage Village and immerse yourself into daily Saudi life. The five-story building includes a museum, shop and restaurant along with galleries depicting life in the various regions of the kingdom through the ages.
For Al Khobar’s answer to the local souq, look no further than Qaisariyat Al Rashid. Taking inspiration from the past, this market is modeled and designed after the traditional souqs of the region, and with over 80 shops, you can pick up treasures both old and new.
